4 pieces chicken – boil slightly and skin

In dutch oven – heat:  3 T olive oil, 2 slices cut up bacon, 3/4 c (1 med) onion or peeled pearl onions, 2 cloves (or to taste) chopped garlic

Remove vegets.  Brown chicken pieces.  Remove chicken.

Add:  3 T flour, stir into oil and brown.
Replace chicken and vegets.
Mix and add:  1 1/2 c burgundy or other red, 1 c chicken brother, 2 T catsup, 2 T brown sugar, 1/4 tsp thyme, 1/8 tsp marjoram, 1 tsp salt, parsley to taste, and 1/2 bay leaf.

Simmer 1 hour.  Add some fresh mushrooms last five minutes.  Serve on noodles or rice.

Spicing when I cook this is actually variable.  There are a lot of different combinations that work well and are tasty.  Also not sure if those are the ratios I use.  They are the ones I started with, but I don’t always measure spices anymore.
