Coq Au Vin (Chicken In Wine Sauce) In The Instant Pot
Coq au vin translates to “chicken in wine”, and is a French dish that sounds fancy but is actually quite easy to make. It’s even easier when you prepare it in an Instant Pot. If you have an Instant Pot, then you know how amazing they are for cutting down the time it takes to prepare delicious meals. This delicious, tender chicken braised in a delectable wine sauce is the perfect thing for autumn evenings. You can make the entire thing in your Instant Pot, or if you don’t have one, simply do the searing on the stove in a skillet and the slow cooking in a covered pot simmering over low heat. It will, of course, take longer to cook this way, but is still pretty effortless.

Our Chicken Is Outstanding In Flavor And Quality
At Beck & Bulow, we get a lot of satisfaction from converting people away from eating factory farmed meat. It’s good for the planet, our emotional well-being, our health and our future. We believe eating meat is essential for humans to function at optimal health, but this can only be the case if it’s raised and processed the right way. When it comes to chicken, it’s necessary to use the highest discernment in sourcing. We’re proud to provide delicious chicken from a small co-op of family farms, raised in sunny Colorado.
Sourced From A Co-Op Of Family Farms
These birds are humanely raised and cage free, with plentiful space to roam freely in cozy, well-ventilated barns with access to the outdoors. They enjoy unlimited access to water and nutritious vegetarian food supplemented with enzymes, essential oils and vitamins. The chickens frequently relax in their cozy beds made of wood shavings and rice hulls. They are a Cobb Hubbard hybrid breed, carefully selected for the great flavor and consistency of the meat as well as their docile temperament. The barn attendants are trained in chicken behavior and take care to make the environment as naturally supportive as possible.
