Chicken legs with a crispy crust in the oven

Baking a chicken leg in the oven is a piece of cake. But it’s one thing when they are simply seasoned with pepper, salt and sent to the oven. The result will be completely different if everything is done according to the rules. Rub with spices, adjika or ketchup, lubricate with thick aromatic sauce based on sour cream or mayonnaise and only then bake. In 30-40 minutes, the chicken legs will be ready in the oven with a crispy crust; the recipe with photo will show you how to make a baking sauce and how to prepare chicken meat. By the way, I rub the spices on the meat, not the skin, and if you haven’t tried this method yet, I highly recommend it.

The recipe for chicken legs in the oven does not have to include mayonnaise. I'll show you how to make a sauce from sour cream with the addition of tomato and spices, which will also give a golden crispy crust. But, of course, you can choose any option.

Ingredients

To cook chicken legs in the oven you will need:

• legs (small) – 4 pcs;
• tomato sauce or homemade adjika– 2 tbsp. l;
• sour cream 15-20% - 4 tbsp. l;
• garlic – 2 cloves;
• mustard (paste) – 1 tsp;
• mustard with grains – 1 tsp (optional);
• flour – 1 tsp;
• paprika or chili pepper, turmeric – 0.5 tsp each;
• salt - to taste.

How to cook chicken legs with a crispy crust in the oven. Recipe

I wash the chicken parts thoroughly. If there are remains of feathers, I pull them out with tweezers or clean them off. I cut off the excess fat, do not touch the skin, it can be tucked later so that no areas of meat are exposed.

I won’t stuff the legs, I’ll make it simpler. You've probably noticed that when you rub garlic on chicken, it either burns or the flavor disappears completely. To eliminate all the troubles and make the chicken meat spicy, with the aroma of garlic, I rub it not on top of the skin, but under it. I cut it lightly with a knife and turn it away. There will be a thin film inside - it can easily be torn with your fingers and a pocket will form.

Now it’s very easy to rub the chicken with any spices, sauce, ketchup - choose what you like. I mixed 1.5 tbsp. l. thick tomato sauce with chopped garlic. Added a little salt and coated the meat, pushing it deeper. I would like to note that this procedure is carried out only on the outside of the leg. The inner one does not rub.

I returned the skin to its place and left the leg to marinate while the oven preheated.

I prepare the sauce based on sour cream. Simply because mayonnaise is too fatty for us, too high in calories. You can take what you like. I add two types of mustard to sour cream: regular table mustard and with grains.

I stir. I add flour. The flour will thicken the sauce, it will immediately form a crust and will not drip during baking. This simple technique ensures that your chicken legs are crispy, juicy and golden brown.

It's up to you to add spices or not. I made the sauce brighter and slightly spicier. Mixed with chili pepper and turmeric. For spices, you can add Provençal herbs, curry powder, any pepper, thyme, basil - anything that is suitable for cooking chicken.

Add salt to taste. Mix until smooth and thick without lumps.

For a more contrasting taste and bright color, I added tomato sauce (ketchup, adjika, tomato paste are suitable).

The oven has already warmed up to 200 degrees. I coat the top of the chicken leg with an even thick layer of sauce.

I recommend covering the baking dish with foil so that the edges protrude a little and you can cover the chicken. Do not wrap, but only cover without touching the surface. With this preparation, the legs will not burn either on the bottom or on the top, the crust will be crispy and evenly browned.

I put the chicken legs in a hot oven for 40-45 minutes. Readiness is determined by appearance and the mind-blowing aroma spreading throughout the kitchen. But to be on the safe side, you can take it out and pierce it in the highest place. The juice from the cooked chicken will be clear.

Well, the delicious chicken legs are cooked in the oven and ready to be served. While they are baking, think about what side dish will be served with and prepare it in advance.

We decided that we didn’t need a side dish; fresh vegetables would be enough. The result was very aromatic, juicy legs, baked in the oven with a crispy crust, the recipe is simple and quick. Another thing I like about this dish is the ability to change the composition of the marinade. If you know the secret tricks that I talked about in the recipe, you can come up with different combinations and the result will always be excellent. Bon Appetit everyone! Your Plyushkin.
