Chicken drumsticks in foil baked in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake chicken drumsticks in foil in the oven? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. In addition to chicken legs, you can use chicken fillets, thighs or whole hams. You can replace it with store-bought ground coriander - it's the same thing.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash and dry the chicken drumsticks.

3. Step 3:

   

   Chop the cilantro seeds in a coffee grinder. The degree of grinding is determined by yourself, as you prefer. I ground it finely, but not quite into dust. If you don't have a coffee grinder, a manual spice mill is also suitable. Well, in extreme cases, you can just put the grains in a bag and mash them with a rolling pin. ! Cilantro grains are usually sold in stores under the name Coriander (seeds).

4. Step 4:

   

   Grate garlic on a fine grater or pass through a press.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put mayonnaise in a bowl with chicken legs, add chopped coriander, garlic, salt and pepper.

6. Step 6:

   

   Mix everything well so that the legs are covered on all sides with a fragrant mayonnaise mixture.

7. Step 7:

   

   Tighten the chicken bowl with cling film and leave to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or in the refrigerator if longer. I left the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.

8. Step 8:

   

   Put the pickled shins separately on small sheets of foil. Brush with the remains of the mayonnaise marinade. Sprinkle each leg with ground paprika on top.

9. Step 9:

   

   Carefully wrap the legs in foil, taking care that it does not fit the meat tightly. If the foil is too tight, then most likely it will stick to the meat and peel off only with the skin.

11. Step 10:

    

    Place the legs in foil on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Bake the chicken drumsticks in a preheated 180 ° C oven for about 45 minutes.

12. Step 11:

    

    Then unwrap the foil and return the legs to the oven for another 10-15 minutes or a little longer until a light crisp appears.

13. Step 12:

    

    While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In principle, you can do without it, but with the sauce it turns out much tastier. Therefore, I advise you not to be lazy and cook, especially since you need very few ingredients for it, and there are only five minutes to do.

14. Step 13:

    

    Peel the garlic and pass it through a press or grate it on a fine grater.

15. Step 14:

    

    Wash the cilantro, dry it and chop it finely with a knife.

16. Step 15:

    

    In a container, combine clean drinking water, tomato paste and garlic and mix until smooth.

17. Step 16:

    

    Taste the sauce. Add chopped cilantro, ground pepper and salt to the sauce to taste. Mix everything again.

18. Step 17:

    

    Put the finished legs on a platter and serve with tomato sauce. Bon appetit!
