Fried chicken thighs in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry chicken thighs in a frying pan? Prepare all the products listed in the recipe. If you have frozen chicken thighs, then they must first be thawed at room temperature. Scorch the thighs to get rid of the remnants of feathers and fluff, rinse under running cold water and dry with paper napkins.

2. Step 2:

   

   I had chicken legs, so I separated the shin from the thigh. You can cook both parts of the chicken or one of them.

3. Step 3:

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan with a thick bottom. Put the thighs in a frying pan and fry until golden brown.

4. Step 4:

   

   Turn each piece over and leave until golden brown.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add a little water to the pan, cover with a lid, reduce the flame of the stove to moderate and cook the chicken for 30-40 minutes. Periodically open the lid and check if there is liquid in the pan and if the meat does not burn. If there is no liquid or not enough, then add quite a bit of boiling water so that the thighs are stewed. Sometimes it takes a little more or less water, focus on not burning anything.

7. Step 6:

   

   While the chicken is cooking, peel the onion and garlic. Chop the onions into thin rings or half rings, and pass the garlic through a press, or chop with a knife.

8. Step 7:

   

   After the allotted time, when the hips are fully ready, open the lid. If there is a lot of liquid in the pan at this moment, then increase the flame slightly and evaporate the excess juice. Send butter (optional), onion and garlic to the hips. Add salt to taste, add your favorite spices. Fry until the onion is ready.

9. Step 8:

   

   Sprinkle the finished dish with finely chopped herbs. Dill, parsley, young onion or cilantro are perfect.
