2 tb Canola oil
1 sl Bacon; chopped

Chopped thyme to garnish

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dust all
over with 2 tablespoons of the flour. In a large
cast-iron casserole, heat the oil. Add the chicken and
cook over moderately high heat, turning, until golden,
about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add the bacon to the casserole and cook until crisp, 1
to 2 minutes. Add the carrot, onion, celery, mushrooms
and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until
golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the brandy and cook
until reduced by half, 1 minute. Stir in the tomato
paste and the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour until
incorporated. Add the wine, stock and thyme sprigs;
bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the pot and bring
to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat, turning the
chicken occasionally, until very tender, about 1 1/2
hours. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Simmer the sauce until thickened and reduced by half,
about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and
discard the thyme sprigs. Return the chicken to the
sauce and heat through. Garnish with chopped thyme and
serve.
