Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake chicken legs with mushrooms in the oven? Prepare your food. I used 20% cream; it is the most suitable for sauces. You can take absolutely any mushrooms. And in general, this recipe is great for any part of the chicken, not just the legs. Choose seasonings and spices to taste. You can use ready-made chicken seasoning, it goes well with chicken curry.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the chicken legs, dry them, and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and spices. Mix well. You can leave the chicken in this form for some time so that it is saturated with aromas and salt. But you can cook it right away.
