Soak the chicken for half an hour in this mixture - during this time the drumsticks will soak in the marinade.

Chicken meat responds well to any type of heat treatment. It can be boiled, stewed, baked and fried.

Among housewives, chicken drumsticks are very popular. Of all the recipes that do not take much time, housewives opt for shins cooked in a pan.

Depending on the additional ingredients, as well as on the sequence of laying the products, the drumsticks can turn out to be stewed or fried, with a crispy crust or without it at all, fragrant and spicy or almost dietary.

They can be fried using a breading of flour, ground crackers, corn flakes, and also cooked in batter.

Like any meat, drumsticks easily absorb the aroma of various herbs and spices. Therefore, before adding this or that seasoning to them, decide whether you like it and whether it will be superfluous in the dish.

You also need to remember that some spices and seasonings acquire an unpleasant, and sometimes even repulsive aftertaste during frying. For example, such a metamorphosis occurs with garlic. Therefore, make sure that the pieces of garlic, falling into the hot oil, do not overcook. Experienced housewives do this: first they put slices of garlic in the pan, lightly fry it in oil, then remove it. After that, the flavored oil is ready for further use. The same goes for red pepper and coriander. After frying, their taste changes not for the better.

Many housewives are concerned about the question: how long to fry the drumsticks in a pan. It depends on the age of the carcass, the size of the drumsticks themselves, the duration of pickling.

Chicken drumsticks are cooked for about 25-30 minutes, adult chicken drumsticks are best cooked for at least 40 minutes. To make sure the meat is ready, you need to pierce the thickest part of the drumstick. If a clear juice comes out of the puncture, then the meat is completely fried. If the juice is pinkish, and even more so - bloody, then the legs need to be cooked further.
