Chicken drumsticks stewed in a frying pan with sour cream and garlic
This dish is just super easy! I don't know of another that is so easy to prepare. And that is why it is prepared in different countries around the world. They all have different names, but they have one thing in common - the dish turns out so tasty that, having cooked it only once, you want to cook it again and again.
There are also many options and variations. I offer the simplest of them, and based on it you can cook as you want. You can add various vegetables, sour cream can be mixed with mayonnaise or cream. Or you can use mayonnaise instead of sour cream. It will be no less tasty, although more caloric.
We will need:
- chicken drumsticks – 800 gr
- onions – 2 pcs.
- garlic – 1 – 2 cloves
- sour cream – 4 – 5 tbsp. spoons
- chicken broth – 2 cups
- spices for chicken
- salt, pepper - to taste
- vegetable oil for frying
Preparation:
1. To prepare the dish we need broth. That's why I cook it in advance. To make it more rich and tasty, you can add a whole onion and whole carrots to it. And also add salt to taste, add peppercorns, and at the end of cooking - bay leaf.
The tastier the broth, the tastier the finished dish will be.
2. For the recipe, I prepared drumsticks, but in general you can use any part of the carcass, in any number of grams. They need to be rinsed with cool water and dried with paper towels. Otherwise, when frying, the oil will fly out of the pan in all directions. It would also be good to sprinkle them with salt and rub them into the skin.
Salt, by the way, prevents the oil from splashing.
3. Cut the onion into half rings. Try to cut it thinner so that it gives as much of its juice to the meat as possible, while at the same time becoming translucent and almost invisible.
4. Grind the garlic.
5. Pour oil into a frying pan, let it warm up and place the prepared pieces on it. Don’t pour a lot of oil, we have skin on our drumsticks, and there’s already enough fat in it. Fry for 4 minutes on both sides until a light golden brown crust appears. Then place on a plate.
If you want the dish to be less nutritious, place the drumsticks on a layer of paper towels, thereby allowing the excess oil to drain off. Although, to be honest, there won't be much oil.
6. In the oil remaining in the pan from frying the chicken, fry the onion. Do not make the fire too high, let it simmer on low. So it won’t fry, but will kind of languish.
7. When it becomes limp and slightly browned, add broth. Adjust its quantity yourself. I pour two glasses and it makes quite a lot of sauce. But it’s so delicious to eat with bread.
8. Also add sour cream and stir.
And place the drumsticks in the sauce. Sprinkle with spices. I was cooking broth with carrots, and I decided to cut them into pieces and add them to the sauce. It will give the broth some color and brighten the dish as a whole. Let the sauce boil, reduce heat and cover with a lid. Leave to simmer for 30 minutes.
9. 10 minutes before the end of stewing, add garlic and pour sauce over the drumsticks, which is prepared here. After 10 minutes, without opening the lid, turn off the gas. Let the dish sit and rest. During this time, the cooking process will still continue, so let's be patient and not interfere with it.
Then place the drumsticks on a large flat plate, add onions and carrots and pour sour cream sauce on top. Serve the dish to the table, preparing any side dish. Enjoy eating!
