The drumstick is considered the most delicious and meaty part of the chicken carcass.

Shins in the pan - the basic principles of cooking
The main thing in the preparation of the legs is marinade, in which the meat is first kept for some time, or it is coated just before frying. There are a lot of marinade recipes.

If the meat is cooked in a sauce, after it is fried, add vegetables to the pan, fry it all together and put sour cream, cream, mayonnaise or tomato. A few minutes shin stew in sauce, then removed from the stove and served with a side dish.

Shins in the pan - tips and tricks from experienced chefs
- The preparation time of the legs depends on their size. The smaller shank, the faster they cook, it is worth considering that the meat does not work hard.
- When choosing a drumstick, pay attention to the look and smell. In fresh meat, the peel should be pink in color with no stains or damage. If you buy frozen breasts, it is better to choose dry-frozen meat.
- At first, roast shins on high heat so that the meat is covered with a crust. Thus, all the juice will remain inside, and the shin will not be dry.
- The longer the meat is marinated, the richer the taste will be. If possible, it is better to leave the legs in the marinade overnight.
- For the sauce, in which the stews will be stewed, cream, sour cream, tomato or soy sauce are excellent. In combination with spicy herbs, herbs and vegetables, it turns out the sauce, which perfectly set off the taste of chicken meat.
