There are meat dishes that the hostess “conjures” over almost all day. It takes her no more than an hour to prepare others. Moreover, this does not affect the taste in any way. These express dishes include chicken drumsticks with potatoes baked in the oven.

Drumsticks are sold in almost all meat departments. They have already been processed properly, so the housewife only needs to do one thing - defrost. And their further use depends on the chosen recipe.

Most often, drumsticks are cooked together with potatoes. Despite the not very successful combination from the point of view of nutritionists, drumsticks with potatoes are one of the favorite dishes of many families. Because it's fast, tasty and relatively inexpensive.

Drumsticks with potatoes: subtleties of preparation

• In order for the drumsticks to be cooked at the same time, they must be the same size. The choice of potatoes also matters.
• The peculiarity of baking potatoes in the oven is that the potatoes remain hard for a very long time. Therefore, it is laid out on the bottom of a baking sheet or mold, and other vegetables and the drumsticks themselves are placed on it.
• If the potatoes boil quickly (with a lot of starch), then the meat juice that will be released during the baking process will be enough. Poorly boiled potatoes require additional liquid: water, broth, cream, milk.
• Lovers of soft meat and crumbly potatoes have long chosen such a convenient thing as a baking sleeve. Thanks to it, the baking sheet remains clean, the drumsticks cook in their own juices, and the cooking time is reduced. Through the transparent sleeve, the housewife can monitor the process and cut the film in time so that an appetizing crust forms on the meat.
• You can use foil instead of a sleeve. If you place the meat and potatoes in a kind of foil envelope, the dish will also cook in its own juices.
• To add a piquant taste and aroma, feel free to add different seasonings and spices. But pay attention to their compatibility, and also to ensure that they are combined with both meat and potatoes. The following are good for drumsticks with potatoes: dill, garlic, caraway seeds, basil, thyme, marjoram. Add the rest of the spices based on your own preferences.
• Place the baking sheet with the drumsticks in an oven preheated to 190–200 °C.

Chicken legs with potatoes and cheese in the oven

Chicken legs with potatoes and cheese can be prepared as a casserole, after removing the meat from the bones. To do this you only need a sharp knife. The pre-washed and dried chicken drumstick should be cut lengthwise to the bone on two opposite sides. Then carefully remove the resulting leg halves from the bone. Whether to keep the skin is a matter of personal preference. Of course, with skin, the dish will turn out much more appetizing and satisfying. But it will also saturate the potato layer with fat, which will make the dish harder to digest. Therefore, decide whether to leave the skin or not, based on your own wishes.

Ingredients:

• Chicken drumsticks, boned – 8 pieces;
• Potatoes – 8-10 pieces;
• Onion – 1 piece;

6. Place chopped onion on the bottom of the pan and lightly season to taste.
7. Then lay out the potato slices in an even layer. This layer does not need to be seasoned - it will be flavored by the sauce and spices from the chicken.
8. Place the marinated chicken drumsticks on the potatoes and press them lightly with your hands.
9. Place the dish in the oven, heated to 180 degrees, for 30-40 minutes. Check readiness by cutting a piece of potato - it should be soft inside. You can also score the chicken to ensure it is done.
10. Remove the baking dish from the oven and generously cover the dish with grated cheese. Place in the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts and a delicious golden brown crust forms on it. Delicious chicken legs with potatoes are ready!

Tip: the same dish can be prepared from whole drumsticks without removing them from the bones. In this case, the baking time may increase slightly, since the meat on the bone takes longer to cook.

Culinary tricks:

• To check the readiness of the chicken leg, you need to make a small cut on it. The meat near the bone should not have a pink or red tint. It should be an even white-gray color without any bloody inclusions. The juice that flows out when cutting meat should be clear.
• To season chicken meat, you can use a special chicken spice blend. Or you can do it yourself. Ground black and red pepper, paprika powder, a little coriander, granulated garlic and curry powder are suitable for this. Combine them to your liking to create your own unique chicken seasoning.
• It is important to cut the potatoes correctly - the pieces must be the same size, otherwise the largest ones may not have time to bake.
• You can substitute thighs for drumsticks in every recipe. However, in this case, the cooking time may increase slightly, since the thighs are usually thicker than the drumsticks.
• If possible, it is advisable to marinate the chicken in advance - several hours before cooking, or better yet, overnight.
