Allan Terry Poet Ballad

Coq Vin

I let 7 pounds of chicken marinade
in 2 bottles of wine rosemary thyme garlic, 1 hot pepper
we added no salt thinking sodium intake could be monitored
midway through preparation. in the morning
I preparade a batter, of cayenne garlic powder, onion powder and celery powder 
with some smoked paprika. dusted the chicken and fried
 it slightly golden in some Olive Oil.
I prepared 2 pounds of bacon cooked, crumbled and measured
about 2 cups. set aside.
