Coq au vin is a timeless French comfort dish rooted in the peasant kitchens of rural France, where rooster was slowly braised in red wine, herbs, mushrooms, and bacon to create a rich, hearty meal. Associated with King Henri IV’s promise of “a chicken in every pot,” the dish later became a symbol of French rustic cuisine. Inspired by legendary chef Paul Bocuse, Chef Janine’s keto version preserves the dish’s classic slow-braised flavor and tradition.
