Chicken legs (magic recipe)
Ingredients:
chicken legs 8-9 pcs
onion 1 piece
garlic 3-4 cloves
carrots 1 piece
bell pepper 1 piece
salt 1 tsp (if you use less chicken, do not forget to proportionally reduce the amount of salt!!!)
Agree, these vegetables are almost always available, at any time of the year. No frills :)
Preparation:
In my opinion, you shouldn't chop the onion too finely.
You also need to chop the garlic
Pour a little vegetable oil into the frying pan
And simmer the onion and garlic over low heat (4-5 minutes)
Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse or fine grater, as you like (you can also chop them in a blender)
And add to the onion
Remove seeds from peppers and rinse. In terms of color, of course, it is better to take any color other than green - yellow, red, orange.
Add to the pan and simmer for another 5 minutes
Wash the chicken legs and remove the skin if desired (we don’t like it for some reason)
Season with salt and add dried herbs as desired
Rub each leg with your hands with this mixture (or just salt), then place them all on top of the vegetables and add water
The water should almost completely cover the chicken.
Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes (after 15 minutes, turn each leg over to the other side). During this time, you can prepare absolutely any side dish your heart desires. This chicken goes with everything :)
Be sure to check the readiness at the end - pierce the meatiest leg with a fork: if red-burgundy juice starts to flow out, simmer more, if it’s transparent white, it’s ready!

Dip the legs into the breading mixture so that it adheres well to the meat and does not drip. If it turns out too liquid, add more starch.

What's on the side?
Rice, buckwheat or potatoes are usually served with chicken drumsticks, but you can diversify your menu with a grain such as bulgur. It doesn’t take long to prepare, and, soaked in the juice of the legs, it will be good as a main dish.

Legs in foil
Regular foil will help cook the legs faster than a baking sheet due to the internal temperature being higher than in the oven.

For 2 servings of legs “In Clothes” you need:
- 4 drumsticks;

Cut the foil into 4 rectangles. Place 1 drumstick in each and wrap tightly. Turn the oven to 180 degrees and place the chicken in it. Cook for about 15 minutes, then unwrap the foil and finish cooking the dish for 10–12 minutes.
When serving, you can unwind the legs, and leave only the bone in the foil, which is convenient for holding the shin.

This makes the chicken simply wonderful.
How to bake chicken legs in the oven? Simple step-by-step recipes often differ from each other only in the composition of the marinade and the set of spices. But the cooking technology changes little. So, let's look at the step-by-step process of preparing chicken drumsticks. We will wash them, if necessary, and remove any remaining feathers. You can remove the skin from the legs. But if excess calories don't bother you, it's better not to do this. Baked will give the dish additional taste and aroma. Then rub the chicken legs with salt and a mixture of spices. Let's leave for a quarter of an hour. Then put it in the marinade and put it in the refrigerator for at least twenty minutes. The longer the chicken stays in the liquid medium, the softer and more tender its meat will become. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil. Place the legs there tightly enough to prevent them from drying out. Place in the oven and bake for forty-five minutes. From time to time you need to pour the resulting juice over the meat. We check readiness like this: pierce it with a fork in the thickest place. If red ichor appears, bake for a few more minutes. Golden juice should appear at the puncture site. There are recipes that call for baking legs with sauce. Most often together with a side dish - potatoes and onions. The Italian way of baking is that the legs are cooked in the oven in a mixture of flour and spices for half an hour, then they are poured with marinade and left for another thirty minutes.

Everything else is up to your taste and discretion. Sweet paprika will give the dish a Hungarian touch, turmeric and chili pepper - Indian. Don't forget to salt the chicken legs.

Caucasian flavor of dishes
Chicken is a neutral meat in taste. But it absorbs all other ingredients of dishes well. Chicken legs marinated in the oven turn out completely different: spicy, tender, spicy, sweetish - depending on what ingredients and spices you use. If you are a fan of Caucasian cuisine, try using ketchup instead of mayonnaise. The set of spices also changes in this recipe. The main components in it are: red hot pepper, cilantro (the grains should first be pounded in a mortar) and suneli hops. After the legs have soaked in the spices for a while and the salt has softened the meat, generously coat it with ketchup. With this method of cooking Caucasian chicken, you can experiment. For example, add adjika to ketchup. This marinade gives you the opportunity not only to bake the legs in the oven, but also to grill them.

It is better to place the meat on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. But for the chicken to turn out tasty, it must spend at least half an hour in the marinade. The meat should be baked in the oven for about thirty minutes at 180 degrees. Separately prepare a side dish - boiled potatoes or rice. We use the remaining marinade as a sauce.

Rub a baking tray (bottom and sides) with a mixture of melted butter (30 g) and olive oil (20 g). Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Take the chicken drumsticks out of the bag and place them on a baking sheet. Let's bake for thirty minutes. In the meantime, melt fifty grams of honey and mix it with the same amount of cane sugar.
