      Title: Chicken Braised In Red Wine
 Categories: Chicken, Italian
      Yield: 6 Servings


        3 tb Olive oil
        3 tb Butter
    3 1/2 oz Pancetta; diced 3 1/4 lb Whole chicken; cut into pieces
       10    Pearl (baby) onions
      1/2 cl Garlic; crushed
        7 oz Mushrooms; halved
      1/2    cup Grappa
    1 1/4    cups Red wine
        2 tb All-purpose (plain) flour Salt and pepper

  Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 50 minutes

  Heat the oil and 1 tb butter in a saucepan, add the chicken, and cook
  for 5 minutes, browning each piece.

  Do this in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan, then
  add pancetta and cook for 5 minutes.

  Add the pearl onions, the crushed garlic, and the halved mushrooms.
  Season with salt and pepper.

  Add a splash of the grappa and carefully set it alight to flambe.
  When the flame has burned out, pour in the wine and 2/3 cup water,
  and cook over medium-low heat for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is
  cooked through, turning the chicken pieces occasionally.

  Insert a skewer or the tip of a sharp knife into the thickest part of
  the meat and if the juices run clear, then it's done.

  Place the chicken in a warm serving dish, cover, and keep warm.

  Mix the flour and remaining butter in a bowl.

  Blend the cooking juices in a food processor or blender and pour into
  a small pan.

  Put over medium heat, add the butter and flour mixture, and cook until
  thickened.

  Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.
