Preparing the dish does not require much expense, a lot of time, and you don’t need any special culinary skills. All you have to do is choose a recipe and follow it, or maybe sometimes use your imagination, since there is enormous scope for culinary experiments here. You can fry the legs, stew them in sour cream, mayonnaise, various sauces, and add spices.
Crispy chicken legs fried with crust in a frying pan
The simplest recipe for fried drumsticks, but if you use it, you are guaranteed a crispy golden brown crust.
- Shins.
- Curry, salt, pepper, mayonnaise, sunflower oil.
- Mix the spices and rub them on the legs, dried with paper towels.
- Coat with mayonnaise and leave on the table for about half an hour. Mayonnaise sauce can be omitted if desired.
- Heat oil in a frying pan, lower the workpieces. When the lower part of the drumstick “seizes,” moderate the heat, but do not turn it to the lowest setting.
- Fry the preparations until crusty. At the end of cooking, you can close the pan with a lid for five minutes and simmer a little. If you think that the legs come out a little dry, do not add oil, it is better to splash a little water.
How long to fry chicken legs
Place the prepared legs in a frying pan, heated and filled with hot vegetable oil. Fry each side for 10 minutes. Do not cover the pan. The fire should be medium. Then cover the container with a lid and, reducing the heat to low, cook for another 10-12 minutes. Make sure to turn the chicken legs regularly, otherwise they will burn. You need to achieve a uniform golden hue.
To determine the readiness of the chicken legs, pierce the chicken with a knife. If reddish juice comes out, the meat is still raw. And clear juice indicates the readiness of the food.
The maximum shelf life of fried legs in the refrigerator is 3 days. I just think that this delicacy will not last even one day
