• 3 - Remove from heat and add the cognac, making sure pan is away from open flames. Return pan to burner, ignite cognac either with a long match or ignite gas burner. Keep the pan's lid handy, in case you need to smother the flames. Let the alcohol burn off.
• 4 - Add red wine, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, turning chicken once.
• 5 - Place chicken in medium-sized dutch oven, or casserole dish, cover, and set aside.
• 6 - Cook onions until transparent in same frying pan, then layer the onions over top of the chicken in the dutch oven, then set aside with lid on again.
• 7 - Add the remainder of ingredients to the pan, and bring to a simmer and ensure ingredients are well mixed. Spoon over top of onions in dutch oven, making sure the tomatoes are well distributed, and that the chicken is covered.
• 8 - Bake at 350 F for at least one hour. An extra half hour is going to give more tender chicken. .
