Well, now I am torn. Don't know if I like my old standby red Coq Au Vin or this one better! This is delicious. I did make a couple of changes-left out the peas, and added some cooked, crumbled bacon, button mushrooms and little fingerling potatoes, which soaked up the cooking juice flavor nicely. Also subbed pearl onions for the white onion. Served with a crusty bread to soak up the juices. Made for Fall 2012 PAC game.

Yummy! This smells heavenly as it cooks in the oven. I used thighs in place of the quarters so I reduced the cooking time. I also left out the peas. It will be made again and again!
