Chicken legs in puff pastry without yeast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all ingredients. Wash and dry the chicken legs. Season with salt and ground black pepper and leave for 20 minutes. If you wish, you can use your favorite spices - chicken seasoning, paprika, etc. – everything you love. Cut the cheese into small rectangles, remove the skin from the fillet and insert a plate of cheese into the pocket. Thaw the puff pastry and roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 0.5 cm.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the dough into strips 1 cm wide and wrap the chicken drumsticks with dough, starting from the wide side.

3. STEP 3

   

   Line a baking tray with baking paper and grease it with vegetable oil. Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet. Break the eggs and carefully separate the yolks from the whites. We only need the yolks; the whites can be used to make an omelette or use them to prepare another dish. To obtain a beautiful golden crust, apply a layer of mixed egg yolks on top of the dough with a brush.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place chicken drumsticks in puff pastry in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 1 hour. Transfer the finished legs to a dish, decorate as desired and serve. Chicken legs in puff pastry are ready! Bon appetit!
