  5. Add orange juice and then drizzle everything generously with maple syrup. Add rosemary and cinnamon sticks.

Unsere Weinempfehlung:

A Burgundy always goes well with this. Whether Pinot Noir or Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Here, the aroma, the freshness as well as the elegance of the three "Burgundies" harmonize excellently with the finely spicy-fruity Coq a l'orange and let the taste of this braised dish come out perfectly. Our insider tip is the Blanc de Noir from Pinot Noir from the Laquai winery !
