Thank you

Want to make this on Thursday to reheat for Saturday supper..

Also what to serve with?

Preparation time: 30 minutes Total cooking time: about 1 hour Serves 4-6

Ingredients: 2 tablespoons oil 12 chicken drumsticks 1 large onion, chopped 125g small button mushrooms, sliced 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed (I used garlic paste) 400g can chopped tomatoes 1/4 cup tomato puree 1/2 cup white wine 1/2 cup fresh chicken stock

2 teaspoons Italian herb mix Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Cook the chicken drumsticks in batches over medium heat until well browned on all sides. Remove the drumsticks from the pan and transfer them to a large ovenproof dish.

1. Heat the remaining oil in the same pan and add the onion. Cook over medium heat until soft.

1. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Continue cooking for about 3-minutes, or until golden brown. Add the undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, stock and herbs. Season with salt and pepper (and a little sugar, if needed). Bring the mixture to the boil; reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

1. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Bake, covered, for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for a further 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

I serve it with farfalle pasta (cook a 500g bag) and crusty or garlic bread

Thank you that sounds delishious !!

Dried herb klaxon

Yeah but it holds its flavour better than fresh for this when it's a long cooking time. I've tried both
