Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 pounds frying chicken parts
  • 2 cups mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions

Rinse the chicken in cool water, then pat dry with clean paper towels

Set a heavy-bottomed frying pan over moderately-high heat

Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to pan

When very hot (but not smoking) place the chicken pieces skin-side down and season with salt and pepper

Saute for 5-6 minutes, basting with the juices and fat, until underside is browned.

Turn pieces over, season again with salt and pepper, and saute the same way for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until juices run clear.

While the chicken is cooking, in a separate pan saute the mushrooms in 1 tablespoon butter, remove to a plate when finished browning

When chicken is finished cooking, remove to a warm plate

Rapidly spoon all but a tablespoon of fat out of the pan.

Add the 1/2 cup of wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the sides and bottom to incorporate all the seasoning into the liquid. Deglaze until the alcohol has burned off

Add cream and mushrooms to the deglazing sauce and incorporate; boil down rapidly for a minute or two, or until the sauce starts to thicken

Add the chicken and baste with the sauce and mushrooms.

Cover and simmer 2-3 minutes to bring chicken back up to a hot temperature

Season again if necessary with salt and pepper
