Equipment:
Directions: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon flour and black pepper. On a large plate, coat the chicken drumsticks with this seasoned flour mixture.
Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken drumsticks in the skillet, skin side down, and gently sauté until they achieve a luscious golden hue, typically requiring around 4 minutes. Flip the drumsticks to their other side and continue cooking for approximately 3 minutes.
Take out the nicely browned chicken drumsticks from the pan and place them aside. In addition, discard any excess olive oil that may have darkened due to the flour mixture.
In the same pan, introduce the currently empty half of the minced mint and garlic. If needed, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil and sauté them together over medium heat for a period of 2 minutes. Next, incorporate the shredded chicken into the pan, ensuring to delicately detach any tender bits clinging to the pan’s bottom. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and give it a good stir.
Return the chicken drum to the pan. Bring the chicken to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. Let the chicken drumsticks simmer for 25-30 minutes until thoroughly cooked, and when cut in half, their juices run clear
Heat the cooked chicken drumsticks and place on a serving plate. Increase the pan’s heat to medium-high and sauté the mushroom sauce for roughly 4 minutes, permitting it to reduce by approximately one-third.
Now, go ahead and pour about half a cup of that rich heavy cream into our lovely mushroom sauce. Let it gently simmer for another couple of minutes over medium heat. Be sure to keep stirring the mixture in the pan as it thickens, and you can stop when it reaches your preferred thickness.
Return the chicken drum to the pan to heat. Serve your baked drumstick chicken with hot mushroom sauce and enjoy this delicious homemade dish!
