Chicken legs in sour cream sauce in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to put out chicken in sour cream? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. I cooked chicken legs, but the meat can be anything: breast, thighs, legs. It is better to use chilled poultry, but if you bought frozen, then pre-defrost the chicken on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Then wash and dry with paper towels.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion and carrot, cut into small cubes. To prevent onion juice from irritating the mucous membrane of the eyes so much, rinse the onion and knife with cold water before slicing. If the cutting board is greased with a piece of lemon, it will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell.

3. Step 3:

   

   Chop the ham into portions, season with salt and pepper, add curry. Pour refined vegetable oil with a high smoking temperature into the pan. Warm it up. How to check if the oil has warmed up enough? Lower a wooden spatula into it, if bubbles have gathered around, proceed to the frying process. Lay out the chicken and fry on both sides until browned. Transfer to a plate. In the same pan, fry the onion and carrot until soft.

5. Step 4:

   

   Add flour to the pan, dilute it with hot boiled water, stir so that there are no lumps. Add sour cream of any fat content and bring to a boil. Sour cream can be replaced with cream or thick natural yogurt.

6. Step 5:

   

   Put the chicken pieces in the sauce and simmer until tender over low heat for about 30-40 minutes. How to check readiness? If the meat is easily pierced with a knife, transparent juice flows out, then you can remove it from the stove and serve it on the table.

7. Step 6:

   

   Serve the chicken in sour cream sauce, sprinkling it with chopped fresh herbs (dill, parsley, green onion feathers) on top. Pickles and marinades are suitable as an addition. You can also prepare any side dish – mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, buckwheat. Bon appetit!
