- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine (such as burgundy, pinot noir, or côtes du rhône)

- 2 bay leaves

Instructions
- 1
Cook the bacon pieces in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pieces are browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
- 2
Pat the chicken pieces thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season all over with the salt and pepper. Dust lightly with the flour, shaking off any excess.
