I made this recipe for a group of 10 dinner guests. I wasn't sure if 32 pieces of thighs would cook evenly in the slow cooker so I baked it in a 325 degree oven for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours. I also added 1 1/2 cups of wine and 1 cup of water to make sure it didn't dry out. It all turned out very well and I wouldn't hesitate to cook it this way again when preparing for a large group.

I tried the Coq au Vin Stew which is another BHG recipe and exactly the same as this one but without the carrots. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs simply because I prefer them and will definitely make this dish again. It was super easy & very tasty plus hubby loved it and he is a very picky eater.

are the chicken thighs boneless? and the lady that had the low sodium sub said it equaled 1 package so you would need to cut that in half for this recipe yes?
