Melt 2 tablespoons
butter and 2 tablespoons
goose fat in a large oven-proof pan over high heat.
Brown the large
chicken pieces until golden. Add reserved
bacon and sauté a couple of minutes. Add onions, carrots, and
garlic. Continue
cooking for 2 minutes more. Incorporate the
flour into the pan. Add
wine and
broth. Use more if the
meat is not completely covered. Adjust seasoning, add
thyme and bay, and bring to a boil. Cover and
place in oven for 3 hours.
