Purple Chicken


I tried a new recipe for a chicken dish called Coq au Vin. The recipe caption said "This rich burgandy sauce will impress your guests and family" I did not have any burgandy wine, so I used Merlot. I didn't think it would be a big deal to use a different wine, but clearly it was. My chicken turned purple. Shea initially thought it looked good until she discovered that it was chicken and not beef. They were less than thrilled to try my new dish, but I promised them that the chicken was not contaminated. They ate it, but did not go back for seconds. I don't really think I impressed anyone with this one.
