FRIED CHICKEN MUSHROOMS RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan.
• Fry the thighs for 8-10 mins, skin side only, until golden brown, then transfer to a casserole dish.
• Fry the drumsticks for about 5 mins each side and add them to the thighs.
• Pour the broth over the chicken legs in the casserole. There should be enough broth to just cover the chicken, if not add a little water.
• Bring broth to the boil and cover, leaving lid slightly ajar. Cook at just below simmering point for 30-35 mins until chicken is cooked.
• While chicken is simmering, drain oil from the pan.
• Heat the butter in pan and add onion. Sweat onion for 5 mins until soft, but not coloured.
• Turn up the heat, add the mushrooms, then fry for 3 mins until they soften and start to smell wonderful. Pour over the white wine, raise the heat to maximum and boil rapidly for 10-15 mins until reduced by two-thirds. Turn off the heat and leave until chicken has cooked.
• Once chicken legs are cooked, strain broth into pan with the onion, mushrooms and white wine, bring back to the boil and reduce again by two-thirds until it is thick and syrupy.
• Pour in cream, bring it to the boil, season if you want, then pour it over chicken.
• Heat chicken through in the sauce for 2-3 mins then turn off the heat and leave for a few mins before serving.
• This is such an aromatic and beautiful looking dish you should serve it straight from the casserole with the lid on.

Steps:

• Take your pieces of chicken mushrooms and trim off the tough part where the stem starts to attach to the tree. Wash and dry the mushrooms well, which will help seasonings adhere.
• Season the flour with a good pinch of salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne to taste (go easy on the cayenne). Toss the mushrooms first in flour, then in egg, then in flour again.*
• Heat a pan with 1/4 cup cooking oil, as well as 2 tbsp unsalted butter. Add your breaded chicken mushrooms, the crushed clove of garlic, and the thyme.
• Cook the chicken of the woods until they are golden brown on each side, about 4-5 minutes, adding extra oil if the pan gets dry, then blot the mushrooms on a paper towel quickly to weep excess oil, sprinkle with a little salt to finish and serve immediately.
