Whole chicken

Chicken braised in an entire bottle of Burgundy. The French answer to boredom. Takes 4 hours and cannot be rushed.

White wine version from Alsace. Riesling, cream, and tarragon instead of Burgundy and thyme. Lighter color, completely different personality.

Portobello mushrooms and seitan replace the chicken. The wine braise is unchanged. Serve over polenta instead of noodles.
