Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the chicken legs under running water and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the legs in a large bowl and sprinkle them with salt and spices. You can use any spice you like. I added a little paprika and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Step 4
Peel the garlic and pass through a press into the bowl with the legs. Add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 5

Step 5
Mix all the spices with the legs, rubbing them thoroughly. Leave the chicken legs to marinate for 1-2 hours. You can leave them for a longer time, but then put them in the refrigerator, covering them with cling film.

Step 6

To fry, heat a frying pan until hot and add olive oil. Place the legs and fry them in a hot frying pan on both sides.

Step 7

Step 7
The legs will be covered with a golden crust. Reduce the heat and continue cooking them for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally. If you want them to have a crispy crust, cook them without a lid.

Step 8

Step 8
Pierce the leg with a knife — if light juice appears, the chicken is ready. If the juice is pink, then let it fry a little more. Remove the finished chicken legs from the heat and add freshly squeezed garlic on top to give the meat more flavor.

Step 9

Step 9
Chicken legs turn out incredibly tasty and juicy. They go great with a side dish of potatoes. Bon appetit!
