  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    We prepare the products according to the list and then look at how to fry chicken legs in a frying pan, and there is nothing easier!

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Wash and dry the chicken legs with a paper towel, rub them with coarse salt and ground black pepper on both sides.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Pour vegetable oil on a preheated frying pan and spread the legs. Fry on medium heat. Hisses and squirts, of course, a lot, but as they say, "you love to burst, love and stomp", and in order not to wash everything around, just cover the pan with a lid. I love well-fried chicken legs, so I fry them to a crisp brown crust so far on one side.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Turn the hams fried on one side and fall asleep with onions - you can take more than one head. To do this, we pre-clean it and cut it into large rings or half rings. The main thing is to cut it bigger - personally, I love a sweet onion, but if you just chop it, it will burn and that's it. Fry for a few minutes on moderate heat so that the onion is well tired and the other side of the legs also becomes ruddy.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Add hot water to the pan, preferably boiling water, and cover it with a lid. At the time of adding water, you can add all sorts of seasonings or herbs to your taste, those that you prefer. I like this dish precisely because it turns out the taste of natural chicken without aromatic impurities. Now it remains only to wait for 30-40 minutes until the meat is ready. At this time, watch the amount of water in the pan so that the onions and chicken legs do not burn.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    When serving, you can put a pillow of fresh herbs on a dish under our meat - it will come out beautifully and appetizing!

When you think about what to serve with chicken legs, you don't have to worry at all, because any side dish is suitable for them. I usually serve mashed potatoes, rice or spaghetti. You also need to think about a hasty salad, for example, cabbage with mayonnaise and fresh cucumber. Eat the legs hot while they are still warm. Bon appetit!
