Hen
- We wash the chicken legs under running water and dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides, and rub the spices under the skin.
- We heat the pan on the stove and pour 2 tbsp into it. l olive oil. When it also warms up a bit, lay out the chicken legs. Fry them over medium heat and periodically turn over.
- We wash the garlic (3-4 cloves) and, without peeling it, press it with a knife so that juice and oils can be actively developed.
- We chop the washed mushrooms into large pieces and pancetta into small cubes (in its absence, replace with bacon, brisket or regular bacon).
- Take a sprig of thyme and a sprig of rosemary, and remove the leaves from them. We use them, but the stem itself is no longer needed.
- Add chopped pancetta to the pan - it will be stewed with chicken, and will give it a delicious aroma.
- Throw crushed garlic, chopped mushrooms, bay leaves and thyme and rosemary leaves. Mix the ingredients and continue to simmer them. Pour into the pan 1 tbsp. l brandy (can be replaced with cognac) and use the flambe method - set fire to the brandy from the burner and give the ingredients contact with an open flame. In the process of flambe, all brandy alcohol will burn out, the fire will go out, but the aroma and taste of the drink will remain.
- Add 250 ml of chicken broth to the dish and let the meat and mushrooms stew in it for 10-15 minutes, and then cover and cook about the same. To leave the excess steam, leave a small gap between the lid and the pan.
Potato
- The washed potatoes are cut into circles and tossed in boiling salted water for 5-7 minutes. Cook directly with the peel without peeling.
- Put 1 tbsp in the pan. l goose fat (can be replaced with butter or any vegetable oil) and begin to fry the potatoes until a golden crust appears. We clean and chop the shallots into small pieces, squeeze a few more cloves of garlic and chop off the leaves of thyme and rosemary, as for cooking chicken. Rinse and chop the parsley with a knife.
- Spread onion, garlic and herbs in a pan. We mix the ingredients so that the potatoes are saturated with the aromas of herbs and goose fat. Fry the potatoes until tender 10-15 minutes.
- During this time, chicken should be cooked, so both dishes will be hot, and they can be served together. We put everything in a deep serving dish and call the family to the table.
