This is my favorite side for turkey or any type of roast and a staple on our Thanksgiving table. Making it in the slow cooker prevents splattering. I usually make it the day before, store in the fridge, and then heat over low heat the day of. You can also freeze or can it. For canning, I usually make a double batch, which makes 2 1-pint jars.

Chef John's Coq au Vin
I make coq au vin with bone-in chicken thighs to create that sticky goodness in the braising liquid. Bacon, Burgundy red wine, and fresh thyme add tons of flavor and depth to this classic French stew. Serve this coq au vin with mashed potatoes or polenta that can soak up all that delicious sauce.
