Fried chicken legs in a frying pan with garlic

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry chicken legs with garlic in a frying pan? Prepare everything you need for this.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the chicken legs under running water and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the legs in a large bowl and sprinkle them with salt and spices. You can use any spice you like. I added a little paprika and ground black pepper.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the garlic and pass through a press into the bowl with the legs. Add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix all the spices with the legs, rubbing them thoroughly. Leave the chicken legs to marinate for 1-2 hours. You can leave them for a longer time, but then put them in the refrigerator, covering them with cling film.

6. STEP 6

   

   To fry, heat a frying pan until hot and add olive oil. Place the legs and fry them in a hot frying pan on both sides.

7. STEP 7

   

   The legs will be covered with a golden crust. Reduce the heat and continue cooking them for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally. If you want them to have a crispy crust, cook them without a lid.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pierce the leg with a knife - if light juice appears, the chicken is ready. If the juice is pink, then let it fry a little more. Remove the finished chicken legs from the heat and add freshly squeezed garlic on top to give the meat more flavor.

9. STEP 9

   

   Chicken legs turn out incredibly tasty and juicy. A side dish of potatoes goes perfectly with them. Bon appetit!

It was necessary to prepare a hearty dinner for my husband in a minimum amount of time. He asked to fry the thighs. For spices I took a ready-made mixture for chicken and hot pepper. I cut the garlic into pieces and hid it under the skin. I marinated for 10 minutes, there was no more time. This recipe is beloved by many, dear. It takes literally 20 minutes to prepare, the legs are almost impossible to dry out, the meat turns out aromatic, juicy, and tender. The meat was served with pre-cooked rice and vegetable salad. The husband was full and satisfied. Thanks to the author for the recipe.

My husband really likes fried chicken, so for lunch today we had pan fried chicken legs with garlic. Before sending the legs to the frying pan, I removed the skin and marinated them in a mixture of vegetable oil, salt and grated garlic. I kept it like this for about 1 hour, transferred it to a frying pan, fried it on both sides until golden brown, then continued to fry, turning it over, until the meat became soft. I didn’t add any garlic at the end because the chicken was already very tasty! With a golden buttery crust, soft and delicious! I served it with pasta. My husband was very pleased! Thank you very much!
