Chicken leg in a crispy bag with mushrooms and potatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the potatoes and boil until tender in salted water. Salt and pepper the chicken legs.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat a frying pan, pour in 2 tbsp. vegetable oil. Place chicken legs. Fry on all sides until done.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the chicken legs are cooling, let's make the filling. Cut the onion into quarter rings. Cut the mushrooms into medium pieces so that they can be felt later in the dish.

5. STEP 5

   

   In the same frying pan, first fry the onion until golden brown, just a couple of minutes. Add the mushrooms, add some salt and cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Finally add thyme and stir. Thyme can be replaced with any seasoning of your choice (for example, curry).

6. STEP 6

   

   Mash the finished boiled potatoes with butter. Add warm cream or milk.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add overcooked mushrooms with onions and thyme. Stir until the components are combined.

8. STEP 8

   

   Roll out the previously defrosted dough with a rolling pin into a layer approximately 4-5 mm thick, divide into squares 15x15 cm. Make small cakes from the scraps, place in the center of the square. Due to this, the bottom of the bags will not get soggy from the filling and tear.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place about 2 tbsp of filling in the center.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place chicken drumstick on top. Press the sides of the filling into the leg. Tie the edges of the dough with strips of foil, not too tightly.

11. STEP 11

    

    We also cover the shin bones with foil so that they don’t get burned.

12. STEP 12

    

    Sprinkle a baking sheet lined with parchment with breadcrumbs and place the chicken legs in the dough. Brush the dough with beaten yolk to give it a golden brown color. Bake in a preheated oven at 180-190 degrees for about 25-30 minutes, until the dough is golden brown. Always focus on your oven.

13. STEP 13

    

    Remove the foil from the finished legs and are ready to serve. Bon appetit!
