Chicken legs with potatoes in the sleeve

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake chicken legs in a sleeve with potatoes? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Instead of chicken drumstick, you can use any other parts of the chicken, or even cut a whole chicken carcass into portions.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take the chicken drumstick, wash it under running water, dry it, and add salt. If desired, you can remove the skin.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add pepper and any other seasonings to taste.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the garlic, pass it through a press, or chop it in another way. Add to chicken.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour in vegetable oil. You can use any oil: sunflower, olive, sesame or grape seed. Keep in mind that some aromatic oils can add additional flavor and aroma to the finished dish.

6. STEP 6

   

   Now mix everything thoroughly with your hands so that each piece is evenly saturated with the aromatic marinade. It’s good if you let the chicken sit in this marinade for at least ten minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   While the meat is marinating, let's make the potatoes. Wash the potatoes under running water with a brush. Dry and peel. Cut the potatoes into large pieces. If you have small potatoes, you don’t have to cut them. And if you are preparing this dish during the season of young potatoes, then wash them well enough and you don’t need to peel off the skins.

8. STEP 8

   

   Take a baking sleeve, fasten it on one side and place the chopped potatoes in it.

9. STEP 9

   

   Peel the onion and cut into wide feathers. If desired, you can cut into thin half rings or cubes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the bow in your sleeve.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add a little salt to the vegetables in the sleeve.

12. STEP 12

    

    If desired, add a pinch of Provençal herbs or other favorite spices.

13. STEP 13

    

    Pour vegetable oil into the vegetables.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place chicken legs in the sleeve.

15. STEP 15

    

    Close the sleeve on the other side and mix all the contents well right in it.

16. STEP 16

    

    Place the sleeve with potatoes and chicken drumsticks on a baking sheet. Use a toothpick to make several punctures. This is necessary so that the steam generated during baking escapes through the holes made. Otherwise, strong pressure may tear the sleeve.

17. STEP 17

    

    Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 30-40 minutes. The times are approximate and will depend on the size of the meat pieces, the size and type of potatoes, and the operating conditions of your oven. Read about ovens in a separate article at the end of the recipe.

18. STEP 18

    

    Next, cut the sleeve and return it to the oven for another 15 minutes. This is necessary so that the dish is slightly browned.

19. STEP 19

    

    How to check the readiness of a dish? The potatoes should be easy to pierce with a knife and be soft. The meat must be pierced at the bone; if clear juice flows from the cut, not pink, then it is ready.

20. STEP 20

    

    Place the finished dish on plates, add fresh vegetables and any herbs to your taste. Bon appetit!

This recipe will help you out if you are not in the mood or desire to cook, and want to do something quickly. Peeled, washed, chopped, mixed and into the oven. The supper is ready. Chicken legs in a sleeve with potatoes tasted like stewed in a frying pan, medium juicy. I prepared a fresh cucumber and tomato salad for the chicken with potatoes in the sleeve, and sprinkled the dish itself with fresh chopped parsley.
