Easier Than It Sounds Coq Au Vin

As the More is More Mom ®, I’m all about……more good for the soul chicken dinners! It’s no big secret. I’m the first to admit it. I am in love with my propane fueled Weber Grill. We grill almost every night; whether there is sun, rain, snow or sleet. Just like the Postman delivers the mail. Conveniently, we have our grill positioned right out side our patio door. I’m able to slide it around, with the flick of a wrist, so I never actually have to go outside. Fire hazard, shmire hazard! It’s perfect!

Some nights, however, we crave that good, roasted in the oven, stick to your ribs kind of dinner. My Nick liked it so much he ate every last one of the carrots right out of the roasting pan (what chocoholic, junk food loving, teenager does that?)! Your family is going to love it too…..

Ingredients

4 pounds of  chicken  pieces with the skin (I used thighs and drumsticks and they were outstanding)

1 teaspoon course sea salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
4 tablespoons butter, 2 for the chicken and the other two for the veggies
1 tablespoon oil
1/4 cup shallot, finely chopped
4 leeks, finely chopped, white and light green parts only
1 pound of carrots, peeled and cut into 2- 3 ” pieces, slicing the thickest pieces in half or quarters. This should produce approximatel
