Chicken drumsticks in soy sauce in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry chicken drumsticks in soy sauce? Prepare all ingredients. Choose oil with a high smoke point. If you bought frozen chicken legs, then first defrost them, preferably slowly, on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Then wash the shins and pat dry with napkins.

2. STEP 2

   

   Fry washed and dried chicken drumsticks in a heated frying pan in vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes on each side. At this stage of cooking, we do not strive to bring the drumsticks to readiness; it is important for us to fry them on top, sealing all the juices inside. The finished chicken will be much tastier in this case.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour water into the pan and simmer over low heat, covered, for about 15 minutes. Since everyone’s dishes and equipment are different, make sure that the water in the pan does not boil away during this time. If the water evaporates too quickly, add a little more water to prevent the chicken from burning.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then open the lid, sprinkle each drumstick with sugar and simmer under the lid for about 10 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Now pour in the soy sauce and simmer covered for another 5-7 minutes, turning the drumsticks periodically.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sprinkle the finished chicken with sesame seeds and serve with your favorite side dish. Bon appetit!

I cooked chicken drumsticks in soy sauce in a frying pan for dinner: quick, simple and very tasty! A new recipe for me that I will definitely make again! Lightly fried the drumsticks in a frying pan, added water, simmered for about 15 minutes. Then added sugar and covered for another 10 minutes. Added soy sauce and cooked with the sauce for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Sprinkle the finished drumsticks with sesame seeds. The meat turned out tender, juicy and flavorful! Thank you very much to the author for the amazingly delicious recipe! 👍🔥I highly recommend trying it 😊

Delicious chicken legs stewed with soy sauce. Chicken drumsticks in soy sauce in a frying pan are an inexpensive and satisfying dish. My legs turned out very soft, tender, the meat was well saturated with the taste of the sauce. I prepared this dish for lunch, and marinated the chicken drumsticks in the sauce the night before so that the meat was well soaked. Thank you very much for the recipe!
