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.

Serve this raw-vegan cashew cream with fresh or dried fruit or berries. I could eat the whole bowl by myself!
