Then throw in the mushrooms to cook for a bit.

I added wine, tomato paste and a tin of tomatoes at this time, brought the mixture to a gentle boil then turned down and allowed to summer for a while.
Add herbs, salt pepper, etc.

I also added some smoked garlic. Yummm.

Now immerse the drumsticks in the mixture. 5 or 6 is what worked in the baker I used.

Cover and place the baker in the oven to cook for a while. I removed the drumsticks close the end and put them under the grill for 5-10 minutes to crisp up the skin before serving.

Server with pasta, potatoes or rice...
