How to properly cook jellied chicken legs. How to cook chicken feet

I present to you one of my family’s favorite dishes - jellied chicken feet, chicken and pork without gelatin. Despite the fact that many new dishes have appeared in cooking, many new trends and just as many new opportunities, we often give preference to the old and proven classics. And for many, a classic holiday table simply cannot exist without traditional jellied meat. This dish has been around for centuries; our distant ancestors have been preparing it, but we also gladly pay tribute to tradition. And this is good.

Jellied meat is a traditional dish for Christmas and Easter. Many people cannot imagine celebrating birthdays and other family holidays without it. Young housewives are afraid to cook this dish, meanwhile, jellied meat is one of the simplest dishes. The most important thing in cooking is to be patient for a few hours. However, the jellied meat is being cooked, and we are minding our own business.

To make the jellied meat harden, you can use gelatin. But I prefer to cook without it. I use parts of the animal carcass that provide a lot of gelling substances. These are the head, legs (paws), ears, tail, shank. Today I will make assorted jellied meat - from pork shoulder and chicken thighs. And I’ll take chicken feet as a source of gelling agents.

Ingredients

  • pork – 0.7 kg;
  • chicken thighs – 2 pcs.;
  • chicken feet – 0.6 kg;
  • bay leaf – 1 pc.;
  • garlic - to taste;
  • onion - 1 pc.;
  • black peppercorns – 5 pcs.;
  • salt - to taste.

How to make jellied meat from pork, chicken paws and chicken

Wash the meat, prepare the onions, garlic, and spices. Place the meat (pork and chicken) in a saucepan and add cold water. There should be enough water to cover the meat by 2-3 centimeters.

Chicken feet need more careful preparation. They need to be cleaned (if the skin is difficult to separate, then this place needs to be held over the fire). The claws need to be cut. After all this, the paws should be washed thoroughly.

Add the paws to the meat and put the pan on the fire. First, bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then remove the foam and reduce the heat. Next, simply cook over low heat, covering the pan with a lid. The broth cooking time is several hours. Cook until the bones come off easily and the meat is soft. It took me 4 hours. But if you use a pressure cooker, the cooking will be faster.

Let's take onions and garlic. We take the amount of garlic to taste.

Remove the finished meat from the pan. We'll also get the paws, we won't need them. In the broth add a chopped onion, salt to taste, bay leaf, and peppercorns. And also garlic, passed through a special press. Let's continue cooking the broth over low heat while we work on the meat.

Remove the meat from the bones and separate it into fibers. If you wish, you can cut it or even mince it. Divide the meat mixture into molds or plates.

Pour in the broth, straining it through a sieve or cheesecloth.

Leave in a cold place until the jellied chicken legs, pork and chicken have hardened.

Note to the hostess

  • Be sure to pour cold, or preferably ice, water over raw meat for cooking on jellied meat. Gradually heating meat products over high heat will give up all their nutrients to the water. After all, this dish requires a rich, concentrated broth.
  • You should not add salt to the broth with raw meat at the beginning of cooking. Otherwise, the meat pieces will take longer to soften. It is better to salt the broth immediately before straining.

Good afternoon friends!

I know you love jellied meat! And it doesn’t matter what kind of recipe it is - chicken, turkey or pork knuckle. It's just a collagen bomb.

There are a lot of cooking recipes, but the main and integral ingredients are bones and cartilage. Thanks to them, during long-term cooking, the same animal protein is obtained, on which the strength and elasticity of our tissues - cartilage, tendons, bones - depends.

Classic jellied meat is always prepared without gelatin, as there is no need for it. Chicken legs and wings, pork knuckle, turkey and beef legs perfectly gel the broth when cooled. But aspic and chicken in a bottle are prepared with gelatin, which is needed there for hardening.

If you need to prepare assorted pork and beef or a pig in a bottle for the New Year, you can look at the recipe

Classic chicken jellied meat - recipe without gelatin


In this recipe you will find useful tips for preparing low-fat, clean, clear broth, very tasty jellied meat. Step-by-step preparation will help even the youngest housewife.


Ingredients:

  • chicken feet, drumsticks, wings - 500 g
  • poultry meat (chicken, duck, turkey) - 1 kg
  • carrots - 2 pcs.
  • onion - 1 pc.
  • parsley root
  • garlic - 2-3 cloves (optional)
  • peppercorns - 5-6 pcs.
  • ground black pepper - to taste
  • bay leaf - 1-2 pcs.
  • greens - a bunch
  • salt - to taste

Preparation:

1. At the supermarket we buy a chilled ready-made set for chicken jellied meat. We take a piece of meat from two different birds - chicken and turkey. From this entire meat set we will get a rich, strong, transparent broth.

2. To prepare such a broth, you must maintain the correct ratio of water and food. We follow four rules:

For 1 kg of meat there should be 500 g of bones, joints and cartilage

The water in the pan should be 1/3 more than the volume of all other products

In order not to worsen the taste of the finished broth, do not add water during the cooking process.

Cook the broth over low heat, without boiling

3. When cooking broths from old chickens, the amount of water needs to be increased, because they cook longer, and therefore more water will evaporate.

4. Place the meat products in a large saucepan with cold water, put on the fire, and heat to a boil.

5. At the moment of boiling, carefully collect the foam and fat. To remove any remaining foam, add a small pinch of citric acid to the broth.

6. Cook for 2-2.5 hours over very low heat, with the lid slightly open. Our broth does not boil, but simply “breathes.” The cooking time will depend on the type of meat and the size of the carcass.


7. In the middle of cooking, put carrots, peeled onions, parsley root, and some salt into the pan. 15 minutes before readiness, add peppercorns, bay leaves, and herbs.


8. Remove the finished meat and vegetables from the broth and let it cool slightly. We free the meat from bones, cartilage and skin residues.

9. We put the onion and parsley root in the basket, they have done their job and we won’t need them anymore. Leave the carrots for decoration.

10. Using our hands, we separate the meat into fibers, trying not to miss a single bone. We separate the soft cartilage, finely chop it and send it back to the meat.


11. Strain the finished broth, season to taste with salt and ground black pepper. If desired, you can add grated garlic.

12. Place slices of boiled carrots, parsley leaves, dill on the bottom of the portion molds, boneless meat on top, fill with chilled broth and take out to a cold place.

13. Before serving, dip the molds into a bowl of boiling water, turn them over and place them on flat plates. We decorate the edges of the dish with fresh herbs and favorite seasonal berries. Serve with horseradish.

Chicken jellied meat with turkey legs

Nutritious and light chicken and turkey jellied meat without gelatin is what you need for your diet. Watch and remember this simple recipe.

Homemade jellied meat. Delicious chicken and pork feet recipe

I offer a recipe for a very tasty jellied chicken and pork legs. The ideal one comes from a rooster or old chickens. The rooster will make a rich, tasty broth. And pork legs gel perfectly when cooled.


Ingredients:

  • rooster - about 1 kg
  • pork legs - 1 kg
  • carrots - 1 pc.
  • onion - 1 pc.
  • parsley root - 1 pc.
  • bay leaf - 2-3 pcs.
  • garlic - 3-4 cloves
  • allspice peas – 8-10 pcs.
  • salt - to taste

Preparation:

1. Cut off the legs, neck and wings of the rooster. Cut the carcass into 6-8 pieces.

2. Soak the pork legs in water for at least 3 hours. The remaining clotted blood will leave the meat and the skin will soften. Carefully scrape the scorched areas and cut them into pieces.

3. Place the meat in a large saucepan.

Fill with cold water at the rate of 2 liters of water per 1 kg of meat and cook for 5-6 hours, periodically removing foam and floating fat.

4. Keep in mind that the water will boil away during the cooking process, and it is not advisable to add it. Cook the meat at low boil. With rapid boiling, we risk getting a cloudy broth.


5. 1 hour before the end of cooking, add root vegetables and onions. After another 30 minutes, add bay leaf, allspice and salt. Add enough salt so that the broth is slightly salty. Once it hardens, it will taste perfect.

A well-cleaned broth from foam will turn out transparent, and the onion in the husk will color it a beautiful amber color

6. As soon as the meat begins to separate from the bones, remove and cool slightly. We put the onion and parsley root in the basket; we won’t need them anymore. Leave the carrots for decoration (optional).

7. Strain the broth through a fine sieve 2-3 times. We disassemble the meat with our hands so that we don’t get any small bones. Soft cartilage gives the jellied meat strength and gives it an extra taste; we don’t throw anything away. Chop finely and return to meat.


8. Add garlic passed through a press. In the recipe I indicated the average amount of garlic, vary according to your taste.

9. Fill the meat with broth, cool and transfer to the refrigerator to completely harden, for at least 5-6 hours.

10. Pour the jellied meat into shaped molds, and when serving, turn the mold over and place the frozen appetizer on a flat plate.


11. Cut into portions. Serve with horseradish or mustard. I really like this kind of food, it’s high in calories and healthy. Bon appetit!

Even though preparing jelly takes a lot of time and effort, it’s still definitely worth it to please your family with a delicious homemade treat.

The most common way to prepare jelly is by boiling it in a saucepan. This method does not require any special skills; the only thing that is important is the right set of ingredients and a proven recipe. In order not to deviate from tradition and create a truly classic holiday treat with excellent taste, we bring to your attention a simple recipe for making chicken leg jelly.

Chicken leg jellied meat: classic recipe

Ingredients

  • Chicken feet - 450 g + -
  • Drumsticks – 650 g + -
  • - 3 cloves + -
  • - 1 tsp. + -
  • 1 PC. large size + -
  • - 1 PC. + -
  • — 2-3 pcs. + -
  • - 6-8 peas + -

Preparation

The most important process for this recipe is the well-processed main ingredients of the cold dish - drumsticks and legs. Therefore, we begin the preparation with their preparation.

1. You must first remove the claws from the paws (with a knife or kitchen scissors).

2. The next stage is blanching the chicken limbs (soak the legs in boiling water for 1-2 minutes), which will help to quickly remove the top layer of skin.

3. Then place the prepared paws and drumsticks in a saucepan into which we pour cold water (2-2.5 liters). If you pour hot water over the meat, you get a cloudy broth and the same aspic.

4. Place the pan with the chicken on the stove and wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water begins to boil, drain the liquid and pour in a new portion of clean water instead. Then put the pan back on the fire. During this period, add bay leaf and black peppercorns.

After boiling again, reduce the heat and leave the broth to simmer.

5. It’s hard to imagine jellied chicken feet without carrots and onions. Therefore, we begin to prepare the vegetables for cooking: we clean them, and then add them entirely to the chicken broth after a couple of hours of boiling.

4. If foam begins to form during the cooking process, we carefully remove it with a slotted spoon. And we do this throughout the entire cooking process, which should last at least 3.5 hours.

5. At the end of cooking, salt the dish: for this we take 1 tsp. salt, but depending on your taste preferences, you can take more, for example, 1.5 - 2 tsp.

6. When the broth is cooked, strain it using a fine sieve, and separate the meat from the bones. After this, we throw away the bones, and along with them, the onion, cooked in the broth.

7. Cut the garlic and boiled carrots into large quarters, and carefully split the meat with your hands.

8. Next, take trays (2 pieces), in which the “cold” will freeze, and place the meat evenly along the entire bottom. We put a layer of carrots on top, then lay out the garlic, and also distribute them evenly among the trays.

9. Fill the entire contents with broth and place the trays in the refrigerator. After 1-2 hours, the chicken paw jelly will reach the required consistency and can be served at the holiday table.

Homemade jellied meat should be served in portions, accompanied by horseradish or spicy mustard. You will get a rather unusual taste of a dish familiar to many.

You can eat jelly along with the main dishes, or you can enjoy the aroma and taste of a cold treat without eating it. After all, it is precisely for the simple classic taste that jellied meat is so appreciated and loved.

You can prepare delicious jelly not only by the traditional method of cooking in a pan. The dish is no less appetizing if you cook it in a slow cooker. So, if you have this innovative miracle of technology in your home, you can safely use it in preparing jellied chicken leg joints.

Ingredients

  • Legs – 5 pcs. large size.
  • You can add chicken necks and heads - 2-3 pieces each.
  • Hams – 3 pcs.
  • Garlic – 5 cloves.
  • Carrots – 1 pc. (large).
  • Salt – 1 tsp.
  • Bay leaf – 3 pcs.
  • Black peppercorns - 6-8 pcs.

Secrets of the Cook

  1. If you are planning to prepare jelly from chicken legs, then you can easily add necks, heads, tails, etc. to the dish. This “cold” option is considered economical; you will spend a minimum of money on it, but will not lose at all in the taste of the dish. Moreover, the necks will add special tenderness and softness to the jellied meat, and the tails, paws, and heads will help the jelly to harden faster, without the help of gelatin.
  2. All chicken parts that will be used when preparing “cold” must be fresh and well washed. This is especially true for chicken legs. They must be thoroughly cleaned with a knife to remove skin, film and claws.
  3. The prepared jellied meat should be stored in a cool place, preferably no longer than 3-4 days. Otherwise, the dish may spoil or begin to lose its special taste.

That's all the secrets of preparing the famous holiday dish. You won’t be ashamed to show off your jellied chicken feet, cooked according to the recipes we provide, to your family and friends. Cook for your health, and most importantly, eat with pleasure.

As soon as it boils, reduce the heat to low, remove the foam, add the peeled onions and carrots. Cover with a lid and cook for 3.5 hours. It is important that the broth does not boil, but simmers!

30 minutes before cooking, add bay leaf, peppercorns, and salt to taste.

Remove the beef and chicken from the broth, strain the broth, and discard the chicken legs. Cut the slightly cooled meat into small pieces.

Place finely chopped garlic on the bottom of the jellied bowl.

Carefully pour in the broth. Leave to cool completely at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. It may take more or less time, check during the hardening process.

Now you know how to make jellied meat using chicken feet. It is very tasty served with horseradish or mustard.
