Organic chicken legs with eco-bacon roasted with organic vegetables

Ingredients for 4 servings:
4 chicken legs
8 thin slices smoked bacon
1/2 head of cabbage
3 carrots
white portion of a leek
1 large onion
1/4 celery root
6 mushrooms
Seasoning – salt, pepper, a teaspoon of thyme, marjoram, a large pinch of lovage, ground sweet and hot paprika

Preparation:

Cut the chicken legs in 2 parts, season and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Wrap each piece of meat in a slice of bacon and place in a baking dish. Put into an oven preheated to 200°C (390°F). After 20 minutes, baste the meat with the resulting sauce or, if there is not enough, use half a glass of chicken stock or plain water. Cut the vegetables into large cubes and mix in a bowl with a pinch of hot paprika and a teaspoon of sweet paprika. After 20 minutes, baste the meat with the sauce again and place the vegetables round the edge of the dish. Roast everything for approx. 20-30 minutes.
