Instant Pot Coq Au Vin

Notes

While all of the sautéeing can be done in the Instant Pot, it is often faster and easier to do in a large, heavy skillet on the stovetop.

Always choose low sodium or unsalted broth or stock. It's easier to add salt than to fix an oversalted dish.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 strips bacon (thick cut)
1 onion (chopped)
3 pounds chicken (bone-in with skin, thighs, legs)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 carrots (large, cut on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces)
8 ounces mushrooms (whole, if small, or halved)
1 cup red wine (such as pinot noir or cabernet)
3/4 cup chicken stock (unsalted or low sodium)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 bay leaf (large, or 2 small)
2 thyme sprigs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
