French Style Chicken


*Note: all quantities are estimated as cooked by estimation.
Please credit recipe as Hubby came up with these steps himself.
Serves 3-4 adults

Ingredients
6 Chicken drumsticks and/or chicken legs
Butter about 2 tablespoons
1 large onion, diced
1 punnet of brown mushroom, quartered or halved
Chicken stock 100ml
White wine 50ml
Fresh Thyme, few sprigs
Thickened cream 2 tablespoons
Parsley, chopped


Steps
1. Marinate chicken parts with salt and pepper.
2. Sear chicken pieces on both sides in lightly oiled pan to brown and crisp the skin. No need to fully cook. Remove from pan.
3. Add some butter with diced onions and cook till soften.
4. Add brown mushroom and cook to absorb flavour.
5. Add chicken stock and white wine. Reduce.
6. Add in chicken parts into sauce mixture. They should be about half submerged in the sauce.
7. Add thyme.
8. Roast in preheated oven for 30-40 min in 180 degree celsius. I use a cast iron oven-friendly skillet.
9. Remove from oven. Add in thickened cream to taste.
10. Remove thyme and add in chopped parsley and serve.
