Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How delicious and beautiful to bake chicken drumsticks in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this.

2. Step 2:

   

   For the preparation of caramel marinade, you can take an aluminum ladle. Pour salt and sugar into it. Put it on the fire. I cook caramel on the smallest burner on minimum heat. As soon as the bottom of the ladle starts to heat up, the sugar will start to melt.

3. Step 3:

   

   If you put sugar on a large fire, then some of it will immediately begin to burn, and the rest will not even begin to melt yet. As a result, there will be burnt smoke. When the sugar melts at the very minimum, the whole process is easy to control. With a spoon, move the sugar grains a little into the already melted part.

4. Step 4:

   

   Despite the minimal fire, the sugar will melt quickly enough. If overexposed, it will start to burn. In this case, it is better to under-melt. Let it be better to have a little sugar left than to bring the caramel to burnt smoke.

   Gently pour hot water into the caramel. At the same time, the caramel will sizzle.

   Boil for 2-3 minutes. During this time, the caramel at the bottom of the ladle will melt. Remove it from the heat and cool to a warm state.

   Pour the resulting caramel sauce over the chicken drumsticks.

    Leave the shins to marinate for 30 minutes. Given that the sauce is quite liquid and flows down to the bottom of the bowl, stir the shins periodically.

11. Step 10:

    

    For baking, take any heat-resistant mold. It can be metal, glass or ceramic. Lubricate the bottom of the mold with a small amount of vegetable oil and lay out the prepared shins. Before putting into the mold, dip each shin again in the caramel sauce. Pour the caramel sauce over the lined shins. It is not necessary to pour out the whole. But let a little of it be at the bottom of the form.

12. Step 11:

    

    Put the mold in the oven, preheated to 190 degrees, for 40-50 minutes. When baking, be guided by your oven. The finished shins will become a caramel color.

    You can serve such shins to any side dish. By the way, when baking, you will get a very tasty broth at the bottom of the mold, which you can pour over the side dish. Bon appetit!
