Chicken legs with rice baked in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake chicken legs with rice in the oven? Very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients. When using a ready-made spice mixture, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt and pepper are already present in such mixtures, keep this in mind, otherwise you risk over-salting and peppering the dish.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the rice thoroughly until clear water. You can use any rice to taste, round or long-grain, steamed or for pilaf.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the chicken drumsticks, dry them and put them in a bowl.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel the garlic and pass it through the press.

6. Step 6:

   

   Sprinkle chicken with chicken spices, salt and ground pepper. Pour in 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, add garlic. Mix everything well and leave to marinate for 1 hour.

7. Step 7:

   

   While the chicken is marinating, heat the remaining vegetable oil in a frying pan. Lay out the carrots and fry, stirring over medium heat until soft.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add the washed rice to the pan and mix with the carrots. Season everything with salt and pepper and mix again. Fry everything together, stirring, for another 2-3 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put the rice and carrots in a baking dish and flatten. It is advisable to take the form with high sides, since the rice increases in size when baking. I had a large mold and the rice was distributed in a thin layer, so this shape was enough.

11. Step 10:

    

    Carefully fill the rice with clean water. You may need a little more water.

12. Step 11:

    

    Spread the pickled shins on top. They should be in the water up to about the middle.

13. Step 12:

    

    Cover the mold with foil and put it in a preheated 180 ° C oven for about 1-1.5 hours. I also advise you to lay a piece of foil or parchment under the form. After 50 minutes, check the rice for readiness and availability of water. If necessary, carefully add a little more water and bake until the rice is ready. Determine the time and temperature by your oven.

14. Step 13:

    

    Then remove the foil, return the mold to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is covered with a golden crust. If there is a grill mode, it is better to turn it on. Enjoy your meal!
