Notes

1. I used most of 1 chicken, cut into pieces. Bone in thigh fillets and drumsticks are ideal. Breast isn't the best for this because it's so lean and this is a slow cooked dish. Wings are too small and will overcook.

2. Use a decent quality drinking wine that isn't too woody or sweet. Avoid: woody chardonnay's and sweet resiling. Sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and semillons are usually pretty safe bets.

3. To make this without wine, substitute the white wine with 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup water + 2 tbsp Dijon mustard.

4. Adapted from Nigel Slater's "Real Food" cookbook.

5. Nutrition per serving, assuming 5 servings. This estimates that 2 tbsp of chicken fate is rendered out and discarded. If you use turkey bacon, it reduces to 535 calories or if you omit the bacon altogether, it reduces to 496 calories.
