traybake coq au cider
A rustic, one-pan twist on the French classic Coq au Vin, swapping red wine for dry cider. This 'Coq au Cider' features golden, crispy-skinned chicken thighs roasted alongside tender red onions, earthy mushrooms, and savory bacon lardons. The cider reduces in the oven to create a rich, slightly sweet, and tangy sauce. Based on the photos, this dish pairs perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes and steamed greens.
