Chicken legs in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 12 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry delicious chicken legs in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can take whole legs, or just thighs or drumsticks. Butter can be replaced with ghee.

2. STEP 2

   

   Beat the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix the eggs until smooth and the salt has dissolved.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the chicken legs and dry with paper towels. Place the legs in a large bowl or pan so that they are in a single layer. Pour the egg mixture into them and mix. The legs should be completely covered with it. Cover the container with cling film or a lid and marinate for 12 hours in the refrigerator.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the container with the legs from the refrigerator and stir thoroughly again so that as much of the egg mixture remains on them as possible. Place breadcrumbs in a wide plate and completely coat the legs in them. If you want a denser crispy crust, use finely ground crackers.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the legs in hot oil until golden brown. This will take approximately 7 to 12 minutes. It all depends on your pan and heat level. Turn the legs over to the other side.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the pan with a lid and reduce heat to low.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cook chicken legs, covered, for 30 minutes until cooked through. The legs are ready when clear juice flows out when pierced. To form a crust, remove the lid, turn up the heat to high and fry the legs on both sides. Remove the finished legs from the heat.

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve the crusty fried legs hot with any side dish. Bon appetit!

According to the recipe for chicken legs in a frying pan, I cooked chicken thighs. In the evening I marinated them in egg marinade and left them overnight. I prepared the thighs in the morning. This recipe is good for its simplicity and short preparation time. And the result cannot but rejoice. The chicken thighs turned out juicy, flavorful, with a delicious breadcrumb crust. Chicken prepared according to this recipe is good for both a family dinner and a holiday feast. I served chicken thighs with pasta. Thanks so much for the recipe!
