Preparation
Step 1
How do you bake chicken drumsticks with mushrooms in the oven? Prepare the ingredients. I used 20% cream, which is very suitable for sauces. You can use absolutely any mushrooms. In general, this recipe works well with any chicken parts, not only drumsticks. Choose seasonings and spices to taste. You can use a ready-made chicken seasoning; curry also goes well with chicken.
Step 2
Rinse the chicken drumsticks, pat them dry, and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and spices. Mix well. You can leave the chicken like this for a while so it absorbs the aromas and salt, but you can also cook it right away.
Step 3
Take a baking dish and place the chicken drumsticks in it.
Step 4
Clean the mushrooms of any dirt. It is better not to wash them, because mushrooms absorb water like a sponge, which can worsen their flavor. If they are very dirty, you can only rinse them briefly under the tap. Cut the mushrooms into small pieces.
Step 5
Place the mushrooms in the dish with the chicken.
Step 6
Mix the sour cream and cream until smooth. You can add garlic or finely chopped herbs to the sauce.
Step 7
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and mushrooms. Use a spoon to spread the sauce over the whole dish. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 392°F. Bake the drumsticks with mushrooms for 30–40 minutes.
Step 8
While the chicken is baking, grate the cheese. It does not matter whether you use a fine or coarse grater.
Step 9
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Return it to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, until the cheese melts and a golden crust forms. Serve the finished dish with or without a side dish. Enjoy!
