bay leaves

Fresh pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare all your vegetables. Combine the soy sauce and honey.

Step 2

Heat the casserole over high heat. Once it is hot, lower the temperature to medium and add the oil. Brown the chicken legs on all sides for a few minutes. Set aside.

Step 3

Turn the heat to medium-low, add the butter to the casserole and scrape any browned bits of chicken from the bottom of the pot using a wooden spoon.

Step 4

Toss in the shallots and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until slightly softened.

Step 5

Add the rice and stir to coat in the butter. Add the mushrooms and chestnuts and stir to combine.Add the stock and bay leaves; bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Position the chicken legs on top of the rice and then drizzle with the honey & soy sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle with some thyme, season with pepper and cover.

Step 8

Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes.

Step 9

Take the lid off and cook for a further 15 minutes or until the chicken skin gets a little colour. If all the stock has been absorbed then add a splash of water if needed.

Step 10

Sprinkle with some more thyme leaves, check the seasoning, and serve.

Notes:

You can use any large, lidded casserole (Dutch oven) for this recipe. If you can't find fresh wild mushrooms you can use dried porcini. Rehydrate first in hot water.
