I made myself hungry looking at all those cock braised in beer recipes.

Over easy or over medium, if you're curious. And a side of bacon. Home fries over hashbrowns. And you can just keep the toast, unless you've got strawberry jam for me.

I went into the kitchen to make coffee and breakfast and got as far as the coffee. Nothing appealing for breakfast that I wouldn't have to do semi-serious cooking for. Soooo I was a fat, bougie fuck and ordered chicken fried steak and eggs.

Tho tbf, sticking their cocks where they don't belong seems to be a very French sort of thing.

I THOUGHT it. But I didnt wanna SAY it.

Serve with a big pile of grilled crusty bread, and a glass of the beer used in the braise. :9

I might use it though. Its a small amount and I can make it even smaller if I want to. We'll see.

Its the sweetness I am not interested in. I would just leave any sweetener at all out just in general.

This is pretty simplified compared to some of the recipes I've seen. I've also combined some bits from a couple of different "styles". Taken the bits I like.

Keep some of the lardons and mushroms back for garnish. Oh and I forgot to mention the JUNIPER BERRIES that will go in with the other herbs.

Bring to a simmer then stick in the oven to braise. Once cooked, pull the chicken and finish the sauce with beurre manie, a little dijon mustard, and a couple spoonsful of heavy cream. While that thickens, stick the chicken under the broiler to crisp up the skin.

I figure the way I'm gonna do it is:
Render bacon. Brown chicken. Discard excess fat, saute shallots and mushrooms, deglaze with cognac, white wine, or jenever. Into the pot with the chicken and some of the reserved bacon, beer, bay leaf, thyme.

I might try it with the sugar. We'll see. But I do think I have pieced together the general method I'm going to use.

Definitely interested in trying this Coq a la biere thing. The only thing I am a SKOSH hesitant about is the inclusion of brown sugar. Its not a LOT of sugar. BUT in my researching I am seeing lots of different versions. Not all of which use the brown sugar.

Coq a la biere. But close enough.

Canis Latranscendental @grimmycoyote.bsky.social · 11h

Flour. Cognac Render bacon. Brown chicken. Saute mushrooms. Deglaze with cognac. Chicken goes back in. Beer. Aromatics. Bring to a simmer and then stick in the oven.

Canis Latranscendental @grimmycoyote.bsky.social · 11h

Chicken. Beer (Belgian styles), brown sugar, juniper berries, bay leaf, thyme, mushrooms and bacon.

Video on YT. Its really simple though. Was considering it for my winter solstice party menu.

Canis Latranscendental @grimmycoyote.bsky.social · 11h

So did I!

Canis Latranscendental @grimmycoyote.bsky.social · 12h

It sort of is. Its Coq a la biere.

Canis Latranscendental @grimmycoyote.bsky.social · 12h

I use beer in cooking a LOT. Love it.

Also discovered a Northern French dish that braises chicken in BEER. Fuck you, coq au vin.

I just learned, through you tube, that Bailey's Irish cream was born the same year I was.

I haven't played in years and yeard, but the SCA was a HUGE part of my life in my late teens and twenties. Always enjoy running into SCAdians.
