How to Thicken Coq Au Vin Sauce

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is David for Expert Village. Today we are going to make coq au vin. We have taken our chicken out of our broth and it has just cooked down really nicely. If you find it a little thinner than you like, we want to have you put in a slurry and this is how you do it. So you want this slurry to be a stew consistency. You can see it is a little bit loose right now. So just go ahead and put some flour in your ramican and a little bit of water. You don't want to pour this right in otherwise it is going to make lumps. So go ahead and pure this in and get a whisk and move this around. We want a little paste to it so we are probably going to add a little bit more water to this. So like this a little paste. What this would do once this is boiling already, this is going to really thicken up the gravy for the coq au vin really well. Coq au vin by the way means chicken with wine and so just go ahead and pour this in just stream it in a little bit. Sometimes you don't need all of it so go ahead and I would say start with half of this slurry."
