Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
The legs need to be washed, although many do not consider it necessary to do this. After this, they need to be dried thoroughly. Wiping with a napkin helps a lot.

Step 2

Step 2
You can just fry the chicken like that. But you can make it tastier. To do this, we will prepare everything for the marinade. I poured some soy sauce into the bowl.

Step 3

Step 3
Then I added spices, a mixture of ground peppers and mayonnaise. Mixed it all up.

Step 4

Step 4
Since this marinade contains salt and other goodies, I did not season the leg with them again, which I divided in half (for ease of frying). I simply covered the surface of the meat with marinade. You can use a very thin layer, barely noticeable, or you can use more, but then the frying time will be longer and there is a risk that the chicken will not be cooked through. Letʼs leave the meat to marinate for a time that is convenient for you. 10 minutes was enough for me.

Step 5

Step 5
To make the crust crispy, you need to roll the leg in breading. I chose a medium grind rather than a fine grind. And added some spices to the breading.

Step 6

Step 6
Dredge both halves of the leg in this aromatic mixture.

Step 7

Step 7
Thatʼs it, you can put the frying pan on the stove and heat it up thoroughly. Then, pouring vegetable oil into it, heat it as much as possible and fry the legs. First, fry over high heat, and then, turning from one side to the other, reduce it.

Step 8

Step 8
Chop the garlic into slices — it’s good to add them to the pan with the chicken at the end of frying. The aromas of fresh garlic will add piquancy to the meat.

Step 9

Step 9
After stewing the vegetables, chopped as desired, serve everything hot. Delicious!
