Peel, clean and roughly chop the carrots. Peel shallots and, depending on the size, possibly halve them. Wash the meat, dab dry. Divide legs at the joint. Season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a roasting pan.
Brown the meat on all sides for about 10 minutes. Add vegetables after 7 minutes. Dust with flour. Add red wine, chicken stock and bay leaf. Braise in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ circulating air: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 50 minutes.
Cover with foil after 30 minutes if necessary.
