Self-Basting Design

Due to the superior construction of the Staub cocotte lids, less humidity can escape during the cooking process. 10% more moisture is retained inside the Staub dutch oven after 55 minutes cooking time than in products from competitors.* 
The self basting system consisting of distributed spikes over the whole inside flat lid ensures a continuous rainfall effect over the food inside the cocotte. The Staub self basting system in the lid is 9 times more effective than conventional lids.**

Coq au Vin is a time-honored French dish of chicken cooked in red wine, a very simple and easy way to make that mouthwatering fall-off-the-bone chicken. Below is a basic recipe so you can get to cooking with your brand new Coq au Vin Oval Cocotte/Dutch Oven.

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil  
  
• 1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces  
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 
  
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
  
• 1 1/2 cups red wine  
  
• 1 1/2 cups chicken stock  
  
• 1 onion 
  
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/3 cup water

Directions:

1. Heat oil in your cocotte/dutch oven over medium high heat. Season chicken parts with salt, pepper and garlic powder and saute until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Place wine in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip chicken pieces into wine, one at a time, and return to cocotte/dutch oven. Add any remaining wine, stock and onions, stir together and reduce heat to medium.
3. Cover cocotte/dutch oven and cook for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water and add mixture to sauce to thicken; cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes and serve.
