  • Start with the chicken legs: rinse them and pat off any excess moisture with a towel. Now work the skin off each leg, gathering it into folds down near the joint. Cut the bone free along with the meat, leaving a piece of the bone still attached to the skin. Pull the meat off the bone and chop it into small pieces. Rinse all the mushrooms (400 g total) and cut them into medium pieces. Peel and dice the onion. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the onion and mushrooms. Sauté until the onion turns golden. Set aside about a quarter of the mixture for the sauce; stir the rest into the chopped meat. Season with salt and black pepper and mix again. Go back to your bone-and-skin pieces and stuff them with the meat-and-mushroom filling. Arrange the legs in a baking dish lightly greased with a little vegetable oil. Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 30 minutes. Toward the end of baking, make the sauce: peel and press the garlic, and rinse, dry, and finely chop the parsley. Reheat the skillet with the reserved mushrooms, add the parsley and garlic, and pour in the cream. Cook it all together, stirring, for 5 minutes. Serve the legs with the sauce. Enjoy!
