Chicken legs fried with dry spices in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Before frying, the chicken must be prepared. If the chicken is frozen, it must be thawed at room temperature. Absolutely any part of the chicken is suitable for frying. Here, navigate only based on personal preferences. I'll use chicken drumsticks. But if you are using a whole chicken, then chop it into pieces. Rinse all chicken pieces well in running water and dry thoroughly with a paper towel.

2. STEP 2

   

   To fry, heat a large frying pan until hot and pour a little vegetable oil into it. Place all the chicken pieces and fry over high heat for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. If the chicken was not well dried, there will be strong splashes in the hot oil. So don't neglect this step.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then turn over and fry on the other side in the same way. A crust will appear on the outside, which will retain all the juices of the chicken meat inside the piece..

4. STEP 4

   

   After deep frying, reduce the heat. Sprinkle the chicken with spices. You can use some curry and dried basil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Sprinkle with a little salt, ground garlic and ground pepper. Cover with a lid and leave to fry for 15-20 minutes. While frying, turn each piece of chicken over a couple of times. When the chicken is ready, the meat will begin to fall off the bones on its own. You can also check its readiness by piercing it with a sharp knife. Ready meat will release light juice. Serve the finished chicken hot. In addition, chop fresh vegetables and prepare the sauce. Bon appetit
