Drumsticks with Potatoes - Tricks and Tips & Tricks
• You can sprinkle a dish with cheese not immediately, but 10-15 minutes before readiness. In this case, the crust will not be hard and dry.
• The drumstick and potatoes will be juicier if, when baking, add onions marinated in vinegar with a pinch of sugar.
• Mayonnaise - quite high-calorie and not very useful product. It consists of a large amount of butter, which drains to the bottom and makes the dish greasy. When baking the leg with potatoes, you can change the mayonnaise to a mixture of sour cream with mustard and salt.
• Tomatoes and lemon juice make the chicken tough, so you do not need to add them to the dishes in large quantities or at the beginning of cooking. Red tomato-based sauces themselves do not mix well with tender chicken meat.
• To make a beautiful and fried crust on chicken legs, add some sugar or honey to the marinade.
