1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken legs in a cauldron over a fire? Prepare all the products listed on the list. Instead of chicken legs, you can use a whole chicken if you wish. The amount of vegetables can be adjusted to your own taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   So, rinse the legs under running cold water and dry with paper towels. If necessary, remove any remaining feathers from the meat first. Cut the legs into small portions.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onions, carrots and garlic. Remove the center and seeds from bell peppers. Wash the vegetables in cold water and dry.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the carrots into thin slices, as in the photo. In general, the method of cutting vegetables can be any. Chop the onion into large cubes and the bell peppers into feathers or squares. Leave small cloves of garlic whole, and cut large cloves into two to four pieces.

   Install the cauldron. Pour in the vegetable oil and heat it well over high heat. Using a slotted spoon, pour hot oil over the edges of the cauldron. Be careful not to get burned!

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the vegetables in the cauldron. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly until the onion is translucent. Do not leave onions, carrots and peppers in the cauldron for too long. Vegetables should have a crunch.

   Also, so that during the cooking process the vegetables are fried and not stewed, I fry them in a cauldron in 2-3 stages in small portions.

    Next, reduce the flame under the cauldron to minimum, cover the chicken with a lid and leave for 20-30 minutes. During this time, purchased chicken will reach full readiness. Open the lid every 5 minutes and stir everything. If the meat begins to burn, then pour in a little water (literally half or a quarter of a glass).

    During this time, pour the soy sauce into a suitable-sized bowl, add starch and sugar. Stir until smooth.
