Preparation
- Sprinkle hens inside and out with salt and pepper. Ideally you should truss them with string, but it is not essential.
- Heat oil in heavy casserole large enough to hold hens comfortably in one layer. Add hens and cook, turning often, until nicely browned all over, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim ends off potatoes and cut lengthwise into quarters. Put in saucepan with cold water to cover and salt to taste. Let simmer about 3 minutes and drain.
- Add potatoes to hens and onions. Pour fat from casserole. Return to heat and add mushrooms and bay leaf, stirring from bottom.
- Cover closely and let cook about 3 minutes.
- Add wine and broth. Cover closely and let simmer 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve chicken and vegetables sprinkled with parsley.
