• Uniform Coating: Make sure to pat the chicken dry before dredging to help the flour stick and create a nice crust.
• Even Searing: Avoid overcrowding the skillet; sear the drumsticks in batches if necessary.
• Flavor Boost: For extra depth, you can add a splash of white wine when deglazing the pan.
• Sauce Consistency: Adjust the cream amount if you prefer a thicker or thinner sauce; simmer longer for a thicker consistency.
Storage Options
• Refrigeration:
• Allow any leftovers to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to preserve the sauce’s creaminess.
• Freezing:
• Although best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze the chicken (without the cream sauce) for up to 1 month.
• When reheating, add fresh cream and a splash of chicken stock to recreate the sauce consistency.
Enjoy your legs baked with cream-of-mushroom sauce as a hearty, comforting meal that combines succulent chicken with a luxuriously creamy sauce.
