Publication in the group: Recipes in the oven
Chicken legs consist of red meat, which is rich in vitamins and minerals, so legs are recommended to be consumed in case of decreased immunity, iron deficiency and to normalize the functioning of the digestive tract. Also, shins help strengthen bones, nail plates and hair.
Frequent use of this type of meat is not recommended, as it contains a large amount of fat, which can lead to rapid weight gain. The most healthy and low-calorie legs are those cooked in the oven without skin and with a small amount of oil and spices, so for dietary nutrition it is recommended to choose recipes taking these data into account.

Drumsticks in mayonnaise - general principles
The set of ingredients for the basic recipe is minimal: the drumsticks themselves, mayonnaise, salt, spices.
Buy drumsticks that are the same size so they can be marinated and baked at the same time. Rinse the selected legs thoroughly and dry. After this, feel free to proceed either to marinating or directly to heat treatment.
Chicken meat is soft and does not require long soaking. Therefore, if you decide to marinate the drumsticks, you just need to mix mayonnaise with your favorite spices and herbs, place the legs in this mixture and soak them in the marinade for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
You can significantly speed up the process by thoroughly rubbing the legs with a similar mixture. For great taste, in this case it is recommended to make small cuts in the drumsticks.
I use both store-bought and homemade mayonnaise. Additionally, most often they add herbs, oregano, cardamom, garlic, curry, a mixture of peppers - there are no restrictions, chicken meat is combined with almost all spices.
The dish will be much more satisfying if you add vegetables: potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, peppers, zucchini, tomatoes and others. Interesting and unusual are drumsticks in mayonnaise with prunes, dried apricots, and apple.
Most often, an oven is used for cooking. But it turns out no less tasty in a frying pan, in a slow cooker, or in the microwave. And the shish kebab on the grill made from drumsticks in mayonnaise is beyond praise.
