Cabbage with chicken drumstick in the oven

Today I share a simple recipe for delicious stewed white cabbage with chicken drumsticks in the oven.

1. For cooking, we take fresh white cabbage and chilled chicken drumsticks (legs).

2. My chicken drumsticks, remove excess water with a paper towel, salt, pepper, sprinkle with seasoning (I have hops-suneli), add half the norm of mayonnaise (can be replaced with vegetable oil), add garlic passed through the press, mix well and let stand while we do cabbage.

3. We remove the first two leaves from the cabbage head and throw them away, they are usually dirty and sluggish. I don't wash the cabbage after that, it's clean inside.

4. Cabbage is cut with a knife or crushed with a special grater for shredding cabbage. We chop the cabbage not too finely, salt it a little and crumple it with our hands.

5. Peel the onion, wash it, then cut the onion into small cubes.

6. Combine the cabbage and onion together in a basin or a large bowl, so that it is convenient to stir. Add two spoons of mayonnaise and tomato paste. Mayonnaise can be replaced with vegetable oil or sour cream. By passing onions, you can add to the cabbage, if desired, something else from the above: grated carrots, bell pepper, dill, parsley, bay leaf, garlic (I only added onions and it still turns out very tasty). Mix well with a spoon as a salad.

7. Then we put the resulting cabbage "salad" in a baking dish.

8. Spread the marinated shanks on top of the cabbage and send it to the oven for 60-80 minutes (depending on the power of the oven) to bake at 180-200 degrees.

As a result, in addition to saving time, we get a very tender and juicy dish, since all the ingredients languish in their own juice. The cabbage turns out to be very juicy, and the chicken legs are ruddy and fragrant.

Bon appetit and good mood!
