Self-Basting Design

Due to the superior construction of the Staub Dutch Oven lids, less humidity can escape during the cooking process. 10% more moisture is retained inside the Staub Dutch oven after 55 minutes of cooking time than in products from competitors.* 
The self basting system consisting of distributed spikes over the whole inside flat lid ensures a continuous rainfall effect over the food inside the Dutch Oven. The Staub self basting system in the lid is 9 times more effective than conventional lids.**

Coq au Vin is a time-honored French dish of chicken cooked in red wine, a very simple and easy way to make that mouthwatering fall-off-the-bone chicken. Below is a basic recipe so you can get to cooking with your brand new Coq au Vin Oval Dutch Oven.

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil  
  
• 1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces  
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 
  
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
  
• 1 1/2 cups red wine  
  
• 1 1/2 cups chicken stock  
  
• 1 onion 
  
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/3 cup water

Directions:

1. Heat oil in your Dutch oven over medium high heat. Season chicken parts with salt, pepper and garlic powder and saute until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Place wine in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip chicken pieces into wine, one at a time, and return to Dutch oven. Add any remaining wine, stock and onions, stir together and reduce heat to medium.
3. Cover Dutch oven and cook for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water and add mixture to sauce to thicken; cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes and serve.
