Method

  1. Heat the oil and half the butter in a large lidded casserole. Season the chicken, then fry for about 5 mins on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. Melt the rest of the butter in the pan. Add the onion, then fry for about 5 mins until soft. Add garlic, cook for about 1 min, add the mushrooms, cook for 2 mins, then add the wine. Stir in the tomato purée, let the liquid bubble and reduce for about 5 mins, then stir in the thyme and pour over the stock. Slip the chicken back into the pan, then cover and simmer on a low heat for about 1 hr until the chicken is very tender.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm. Rapidly boil down the sauce for 10 mins or so until it is syrupy and the flavour has concentrated. Put the chicken legs back into the sauce and serve.

    This dish was very easy to make and tasted good but I ended up with an awful lot of fat on top of the sauce. I will make it again but will use skinless chicken portions.

    Delicious! Made this for my flatmates, one of whom doesn't like mushrooms so put in carrots instead which added lovely sweetness. So easy, definitely making this one again.

    A beautiful and delicious dish. Perfect for an Autumnal evening when you need that extra bit of a food hug.. I added carrots and a little more garlic and halved the recipe for two � had I made the full four portions we would have eaten it all! Will defiantly be making this again and will serve at our next dinner party too.

    Made this last night with chicken breasts. It was extremely tasty. I was a bit dubious about whether the sauce would reduce down at the end of cooking, but my patience paid off and it worked. I don't think the recipe yeilds 4 people though!

    Very nice but my lot don't really like bones so next time I shall use chicken breast. Took the leftovers out of the freezer last night and dh had the meat and some sauce with a baked potato and I just had sauce with a baked potato. Defrosted and reheated well and tasted just as good. Thanks

    Very tasty and easy to cook. We 2 chicken breasts and the same quantity of sauce - didn't need to add an flour to thicken sauce as everything reduced fine. I would go with traditional veg, rather than a baguette, but it was still looked impressive. Try it with roasted camembert with rosemary and garlic as a starter, and a good bottle of french red!

    Wow. Made this recipe last night and it was fantastic. I reduced the sauce to a gravy-like consistency and the flavours were so deep and intense. Stuck to the recipe exactly except for doubling the amount of onion and garlic. Make sure you use a good quality chicken stock and a decent fruity red wine, it makes all the difference. Served it with broccoli and some creamy mashed potato... Yum!

    Almost forgot - Try using field mushrooms, they really add a lot of flavour to the dish.

    Absolutely delicious, the reduced sauce is superb. We have it with mash & green beans and sliced baguette to mop up the sauce.

    Really delicious. I skinned the chicken to reduce the fat content and used white wine and slow-cooked it for 4 hours the day before and the flavours were really intense.
