Chicken legs in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   We will prepare all the necessary ingredients for cooking our chicken legs in a frying pan. You can take any parts of chicken legs. It can be just thighs or shins. Although, in my opinion, there are more bones in the shins than meat. That's why I prefer to take hams.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the eggs and wipe with a paper towel. This will allow us to get rid of the dirt from the shell and not bring it into the marinade. Break the eggs and pour them into a bowl. Add salt and ground black pepper.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix the eggs until smooth and the salt dissolves. To make it easier, we use fine salt.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash the chicken legs and dry them completely with a paper towel. Put it in a container so that the legs lie in one layer. Pour in the egg mass and mix. The legs should be completely covered with mass. Cover and leave for 12 hours in the refrigerator.

5. Step 5:

   

   We take the bowl with the legs out of the refrigerator and mix it well again so that as much egg mass as possible remains on them. Then we pour breadcrumbs into the dish and completely collapse the legs as tightly as possible. If you want a denser crispy crust, use finely ground breadcrumbs.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the pan and add butter, which can be replaced with melted butter. Heat the oil well over medium heat and put our legs. Fry them until a thick brown crust. This will take about 7 to 12 minutes. It all depends on your frying pan and the level of fire. Turn the legs over to the other side.

8. Step 7:

   

   Close the frying pan with a lid and reduce the heat to a minimum.

9. Step 8:

   

   We cook our chicken legs in a frying pan under a lid for 30 minutes, until ready. The legs are ready when transparent juice flows out of them when pierced. To form a crust, remove the lid, add heat to strong and fry on both sides.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove the pan from the heat and serve immediately. Any side dish to your taste will suit such legs. And you can eat with a vegetable salad or even just with greens. Enjoy your meal.
