What it is
Tender chicken pieces braised slowly in a rich red wine sauce with bacon lardons, mushrooms, and a minimal amount of pearl onions. Modified by omitting traditional carb sides and ensuring the sauce is not flour-thickened.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks), bacon (lardons), red wine (e.g., Burgundy), mushrooms (button or cremini), garlic, chicken broth, bay leaf, thyme, butter, olive oil, minimal pearl onions.
If you order it anyway
Request no potatoes, pasta, or rice as sides. Confirm with the kitchen that the sauce is not thickened with flour (roux) or cornstarch. Ask for minimal pearl onions and no carrots if usually included.
Watch out for
Red wine (most alcohol and sugar evaporates during cooking, but some residual carbs remain), pearl onions, carrots (if included), flour/starch used as a thickener in the sauce, hidden sugar in some commercial stocks/broths.
