Season 600 grams of chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, rubbing it in well, and let it sit for 30 minutes.

Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into a large pan and add 200 grams of chopped bacon, cooking until crispy.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the pan, keeping the oil in the pan.

Add the chicken thighs to the bacon oil, cooking on high heat and turning occasionally until browned and crispy.

Set the chicken aside once cooked.

Add 150 grams of chopped onion to the remaining oil in the pan and cook through.

Add 250 grams of chopped carrot to the onions and soften them up.

Stir in 100 grams of sliced mushrooms and cook until softened.

Add 20 grams of garlic and a generous mix of salt and pepper, stirring well.

Pour in 200 milliliters of red wine and blend it into the mixture for a few minutes.

Add the chicken back into the sauce along with the crispy bacon and 10 grams of fresh thyme.

Cover the pan and simmer on low heat for about an hour.

In a small bowl, mix 50 grams of butter and 20 grams of flour until smooth to create a paste.

After an hour, stir the butter-flour mixture into the sauce to thicken it, allowing a few minutes for it to melt into the pan.

Once thickened, serve with fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes.
