Pin Recipe Instructions
- Wash the chicken drumsticks and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Wash the champignon mushrooms, dry them, and cut into quarters or large pieces.
- Preheat a skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil and butter and heat for 30 seconds until the butter melts.
- Place the chicken drumsticks in the hot skillet and fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the first side. Turn over and fry for 2 minutes until golden brown on the second side.
- Transfer the drumsticks to a plate.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until lightly golden.
- Add the garlic cloves to the pan and fry for 2 minutes until lightly browned. Add the water and mustard, and stir gently. Bring to a boil.
- Add the cream and stir. Let the sauce return to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat. Taste the sauce and add salt and ground black pepper to taste. If using dried thyme instead of fresh, add 0.5-1 teaspoon to taste.
- Pour the sauce into a baking dish and place the chicken drumsticks in it. If using fresh thyme, sprinkle the thyme leaves over the chicken. Ensure all drumsticks fit and the sauce is at least 2 cm deep so the meat is partially submerged.
- Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 20 minutes. Pierce one drumstick with a fork at its thickest point—if clear juice flows out, the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 74°C / 165°F).
- Serve hot with rice, noodles, vegetable salad, or other side dishes.
