PREPERATION: In a large plastic bag, add the plain flour, dried oregano and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken legs and shake to coat. Remove the sausage meat from the casing and break into chunks using wet fingertips. Discard the casings. Dice the onions. Dice the fresh tomatoes to serve. Preheat oven 160°C fan-forced.

Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. 1 tablespoon of the oil, add half the chicken and cook, turning oven, for 5 minutes turning until golden. Remove chicken to a roasting pan. Repeat with oil and remaining chicken and remove to the roasting pan.

Add remaining oil to the pan with the sausage meat and cook for 8-10 minutes until light golden. Remove to the roasting pan. Add the diced onions and sauté until transparent. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden. Add the chicken stock and tomato paste to the pan.
