BRAISED CHICKEN LEGS WITH WILD MUSHROOMS
A good roasted chicken is a simple pleasure, but a braised chicken dish is always more interesting. Here, dried wild mushrooms, smoked bacon and red wine perfume the sauce to give these chicken legs depth and character, with a flavor nearly similar to a game bird. Using turkey broth makes this braise even more heady. For a quick, concentrated broth, simmer 2 pounds of meaty turkey wings with 6 cups water for about an hour. Finding a dried wild mushroom is not like hunting for its fresh counterpart in the forest. Most Italian delis and nearly all supermarkets sell little packets of dried wild mushrooms.

Steps:
- Rinse porcini with warm water (they are often sandy), then place in a small bowl, cover with hot water and soak until softened, about 15 minutes. In a separate bowl, soak the morels in hot water.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken legs on a baking sheet in one layer. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Roast, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until nicely browned. Remove and set aside. Turn oven to 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to color.
- Add bacon and tomato paste, stir to incorporate with onions, and cook for about 1 minute, then stir in garlic and cayenne. Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat. Add wine and cook for 1 minute, then whisk in turkey broth and bring to a simmer. The sauce will thicken slightly. Add bay leaf and thyme sprig. Drain porcini and morels and add to sauce.
- Submerge browned chicken legs in sauce and bring to a brisk simmer. Cover and transfer pot to oven. Bake for about 1 hour, until chicken is tender. Remove from oven and keep covered.
- While chicken bakes, make the potatoes: Put potatoes in a saucepan and cover with 1 inch of water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a brisk simmer and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and let cool. Peel potatoes with a paring knife and return to saucepan. (Alternatively, potatoes may be peeled before cooking, or you may opt to leave skins on.) Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer over high heat to warm potatoes through, then set aside, covered.
- To serve, divide legs among 6 warm plates. Spoon sauce and mushrooms over each serving. Sprinkle parsley over potatoes and place a few potatoes on each plate. Transfer remaining potatoes and buttery juices to a serving dish. Serve remaining sauce in a gravy boat if desired.

BAKED MUSHROOM STUFFED CHICKEN THIGHS
Steps:
- How to Make Amazing Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Thighs:
- In a large bowl, combine thighs, grated onion, 1 cup mayo, 1 tsp salt and 1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash. Mix and marinate in the fridge while prepping your mushroom stuffing.
- Rinse and pat dry your mushrooms. Slice mushrooms and finely dice 1/2 onion. heat a large pan over medium heat, then add 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add in sliced mushrooms and diced onion. Cover and cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the liquid from the mushrooms to remain in the pan. Sprinkle with in 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 2 Tbsp Flour and whisk everything together. Saute an additional 30 sec until mushrooms have a gravy-ish consistency.
- Place your marinated chicken thigh, top side down, on a clean surface. Spread out your chicken thigh and place a heaping Tbsp of mushroom filling into the center. Cover the mushrooms with the sides of your chicken thigh and place folded side down into a baking pan, keeping the mushrooms sealed in the chicken (The toothpicks aren't necessary). They don't fall apart.
- For this recipe I arranged them on 2 (11x9") metal pans. Glass baking dishes work well too. Make sure you aren't crowding the pans (the thighs should barely be touching). Once all of the thighs are in the pans, sprinkle a little more Mrs. Dash over the top.
- Cover the pans with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour, then remove the foil, drain off about 75% of the liquid and discard (or keep for gravy) and bake an additional 15 min. If you want the tops to be crisp and browned, set the oven to broil and continue to bake another 3-5 min or until the tops are golden. Brush with a little olive oil to make it pretty.
STUFFED CHICKEN LEGS WITH MUSHROOMS AND CHEESE
One of the highlights of my trip was going to Malbuisson in the Haut-Jura region and trying lots of the local Comté cheese in the local restaurants. The town is well worth a visit. I am not familiar with Alpine places in the summer but, as a restaurateur, I'm quite envious of the fact that it was packed out in June and would presumably be crowded with skiers in winter. Equipment: You will need cocktail sticks.

Steps:
- Heat 20g/¾oz of the butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic and fry for about 10 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
- Mix the cream cheese, Comté, parsley and thyme in a bowl. Stir in the cooled mushrooms and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place a chicken leg skin-side down. Feel for the thigh bone with your fingers then, with a sharp knife, carefully cut down through the flesh either side of the bone. With the tip of the knife, cut around the bone and scrape away the flesh, leaving the bone as clean as possible. Twist the bone at the joint with the drumstick and, with scissors or a knife, cut out the thigh bone, leaving the drumstick bone in place.
- Fill the cavity left by the bone with a sixth of the mushroom stuffing. Secure the chicken flesh around the stuffing using a few cocktail sticks, . Brush the skin with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the rest of the chicken legs.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Heat the remaining butter in a frying pan and brown the chicken legs. Transfer to a roasting tin and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. The chicken is cooked when the juices run clear with no trace of pink when the thickest part of the leg is pierced with a skewer.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and add the chicken stock into the pan to deglaze. Scrape the pan to get all the flavour into the gravy.
- Remove the cocktail sticks and serve with the gravy, mashed potatoes and cooked green beans.
CHICKEN WITH WILD MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Place 1/2 cup flour in a bowl and dredge the chicken in the flour. In a large (12-inch) ovenproof pot such as Le Creuset, heat the oil. Add the chicken in three batches (don't crowd them!) and brown lightly over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken to a plate and continue until all the chicken is browned.
- Add the whole garlic cloves, mushrooms, and thyme to the pot and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sherry and cook for 1 minute, scraping up the brown bits. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the wine, chicken stock, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken (large pieces first), cover, and place in the middle of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (about 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
- Remove the chicken to a bowl and discard the thyme. With a fork, mash together the butter and 1/4 cup flour and add it to the sauce. Simmer, stirring constantly, over medium heat for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Season to taste (it should be highly seasoned), put the chicken back in the sauce, and serve hot.

Steps:
- Prepare the chicken legs. Sprinkle them inside and out with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook the wild rice and drain.
- Heat the butter in a skillet and add the onions and shallots. Cook, stirring, until they are wilted. Add the mushrooms and cook about one minute, stirring. Add the wild rice, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Cognac and stir. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Stuff each chicken leg with an equal portion of the filling. Carefully fold over the boned thighs to enclose the filling.
- Lay out four squares of plastic wrap, one at a time. Place one stuffed leg in the center and carefully fold the plastic wrap to enclose the stuffed pieces. Wrap securely.
- Place the stuffed chicken legs in one layer in the top rack of a steamer. Set aside. Bring enough water to the boil in the bottom of the steamer to steam the chicken legs when added.
- When ready to cook, place the chicken legs over the steamer and cover closely. Let the legs steam for about 20 minutes or until done. Serve with cream of chicken sauce. One serving suggestion: Spoon a little of the sauce onto a hot plate, top with the stuffed leg and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

ROSEMARY AND GOAT CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN WITH WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Remove the backbone and wings from the chicken. Press the chicken open like a book. Carefully remove the bones from the chicken leaving the whole chicken intact with the skin. You can ask your butcher to do this for you.
- In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese, rosemary, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and mash together with the back of a fork.
- Turn the chicken over so the skin side is up. Gently loosen the skin by inserting your fingers underneath it to make a pocket. Stuff the rosemary goat cheese under the skin evenly over the breasts and legs. Tuck the skin back over the chicken. Season both sides of the chicken well with salt and pepper. Drizzle a little olive oil over the chicken and rub well.
- Heat a large, ovenproof saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot and begins to shimmer when swirled, add the chicken, skin side down. Cook the chicken until the skin side is a deep golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully turn the chicken over and transfer to the oven. Roast for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan and return to the heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the shallots and saute for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen the browned bits. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes, or until the mushrooms begin to brown. Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Cook 5 minutes or until reduced by 1/3. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and remove from the heat. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with the chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- TO MAKE THE STUFFING: Soak the porcini mushrooms in the red wine for 15 to 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and strain the wine through a coffee filter to remove any grit. Set the wine aside. Coarsely chop the porcini mushrooms. In a very large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the porcini mushrooms, garlic, and fresh mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the reserved filtered wine and cook until the liquid has evaporated. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 30 seconds. Let cool. Stir in the thyme and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Bone the chicken legs (see REFERANCE & APPENDIX, _Boning A Whole Chicken or A Turkey Leg), then rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the leg cavities with salt and pepper, then stuff with the mushroom mixture. Sew the cavities closed with metal or bamboo skewers. Brush or spray the legs all over with olive oil. Grill the stuffed chicken legs over Indirect Medium heat until the meat is firm and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. For crispier skin, grill over Direct Medium heat during the last 5 to 10 minutes of grilling time. Serve warm.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling. Copyright © 2001 Weber-Stephen Products Co.
