A fairly ordinary, very tasty and original dish for a festive table - now we are preparing chicken legs stuffed with cheese and mushrooms. Serve them hot with your favorite side dish of your choice and always the freshest herbs and vegetables. Guests will be pleasantly surprised by such attention from you, believe me!

Stuffed chicken legs (drumsticks) are, let me tell you, not chicken legs. You will have to work hard, especially if you are going to cook such a dish for the first time. But after this practice, you can simply stuff at least 10, at least 100 chicken legs. Naturally, you can choose the filling according to your own taste, but now I will offer you one of the most delicious options: chicken, cheese and mushrooms.

Ingredients:

Making a dish step by step:

To make this simple and delicious dish, we will need the following ingredients: chicken drumsticks, hard or semi-hard cheese, champignons, onions, unflavoured vegetable oil, paprika, fresh dill or other favorite herbs, salt and ground dark pepper.

First, let's start making the inside. To do this, wash, dry and cut the freshest champignons into small pieces. Naturally, you can use frozen or canned (not pickled!) mushrooms, but I won’t tell you the exact weight.

Peel a medium-sized onion and cut into small cubes.

Pour 2-3 tablespoons of refined vegetable oil (I use sunflower) into a frying pan, heat it and add mushrooms and onions. Fry over medium heat, stirring, until fully cooked.

Meanwhile, prepare the chicken legs. They need to be washed and dried. We take one chicken drumstick, carefully pull the skin off it towards the stump, place it on a cutting board and aim the knife at the narrowest part of the leg.

We chop the drumstick so as not to destroy the chicken skin that remains on the stump. The second part of the workpiece is the bone with meat.

Remove the meat from the bone, removing the tendons. This is how the preparation for future stuffed legs should look: a leather stocking with a stump, an almost unstained bone (you can cook chicken broth) and an unstained fillet. We cut the other 7 drumsticks in the same way. At first it will seem that the process is very long, but later everything will turn out faster and faster. Basically: you don’t need all the chicken fillet in this recipe, so take about a third and use the rest when making other dishes or freeze it.

The mushrooms and onions just had time to fry - they were perfectly browned and fragrant.

We cut any hard or semi-hard cheese into very small cubes or chop it on a large grater.

Finely chop the fresh herbs, and cut the chicken fillet (take only part) into small pieces.

Combine chicken fillet, fried champignons, crushed cheese, and herbs in a bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.

Stir – the inside of the chicken drumsticks is ready.

How to stuff chicken legs? Simple and easy - fill them with the insides very tightly.

Then we take a thread (preferably a dark color, so that it is easier to remove later) and a needle, sew up the chicken skin, tightening it.

Place the stuffed chicken legs in a baking dish (or on a baking sheet) lined with baking paper (food foil).

Before baking, I advise you to grease the preparations with a mixture of vegetable oil and paprika - when finished, the stuffed drumsticks will turn out appetizing and rosy.

Cook chicken legs in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. Before serving, don't forget to remove the threads - just pull one end and the whole thread will just come off.

Serve chicken drumsticks stuffed with mushrooms and cheese hot with any side dish of your choice. Katyusha, thank you so much for this delicious order. Cook for your health, friends, and bon appetit!
