Chicken and potatoes are the alpha and omega of home cooking. This win-win combination of simple and affordable products “sounds” equally tasty in the context of a “lazy” dinner of an inveterate bachelor and a lavish feast of the stomach from a hospitable hostess. If you want it, stuff the chicken with potatoes, if you want it, stuff it with chicken, it will still be tasty and simple. In this recipe, I will tell you about my experience of baking chicken legs with the favorite vegetable of Belarusians. This dish does not break patterns and does not break stereotypes. Everything is standard and even boring at first glance. But chicken drumsticks baked with potatoes in the oven are so appetizing, juicy and aromatic that you want to cook them all the time. However, this is what I do.

List of required products:

chicken drumstick - 1-1.2 kg

potatoes - 1-1.2 kg

garlic - 3 cloves

ground sweet paprika - 1 tsp without a slide

vegetable oil - 70-100 ml

dried rosemary - a pinch

coriander seeds (ground) - 1/2 tsp

pepper (mix or black) - a pinch

table salt - 1 tsp (taste)

Instructions for cooking chicken drumsticks with potatoes in the oven (step by step recipe with photo):

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut each potato into 6-8 pieces of any shape. While you are preparing the other ingredients of the dish, cover the potatoes with clean cold water so that they do not darken.

Tip: Potatoes with a medium starch content are best for baking. It perfectly holds its shape, but at the same time it becomes soft after heat treatment and becomes covered with an appetizing golden crust. Pieces of potatoes with a low (less than 10%) starch content will remain half-baked when the chicken drumsticks are already well baked in the oven. Therefore, it is advisable to pre-boil such tubers for 15-20 minutes. And then chop. Starchy potatoes (with a yellowish friable heart) are good for mashed potatoes. And when baked, it deforms, so a crispy crust will not work.

Prepare your shins. Wash, pluck out the remains of feathers, remove rough yellow skin in the area of ​​the bone (if any). Blot the chicken with paper towels to help absorb the marinade.

You can choose any mixture for marinating chicken. But it is desirable that it be in harmony not only with chicken drumsticks, but also with potatoes. I used ground sweet paprika, rosemary, garlic and coriander. All spices can be taken in arbitrary proportions. Just don't overdo it with rosemary. A small pinch of dried or fresh "needles" will be enough for the proposed amount of products. Chop the garlic with a knife or crush. Pour the rest of the spices into it.

Attention: Add salt to the marinade if you plan to put the dish in the oven right away. If you want to pre-marinate chicken drumsticks, then do not add salt yet. Season with salt just before baking.

Cover with vegetable oil. Do you like olive oil? Please! Sunflower seeds will also work, but deodorized and free of impurities.

Stir. The marinade is ready.

What else can you marinate chicken drumsticks before baking with potato slices:

• mustard, honey, soy sauce, garlic;
• spicy tomato sauce (ketchup), vegetable oil;
• fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, basil, thyme - your choice), mustard seeds, vegetable oil;
• chopped ginger root, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, olive or sesame oil;
• white wine, apple cider vinegar, prepared mustard, black pepper and olive oil.

Place the drumsticks in a deep bowl and cover with the fragrant mixture. Stir. You can immediately start further cooking or let it stand so that the chicken absorbs the taste and aroma of the spices. For quick marinating, cover the legs with a lid or plastic wrap and let them stand at room temperature for no more than 40-60 minutes. If the kitchen is hot, this method is not suitable. Then put the chicken in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

Drain the water from the potatoes. Place on the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Salt. You can sprinkle with a little spices or ready-made seasoning. Marjoram, thyme, basil, oregano, turmeric, curry, black pepper, garlic, etc. go well with potatoes. But you don't need to put a lot, because the potatoes are saturated with aromatic chicken juice.

Arrange the chicken legs in one layer on top. Sprinkle the rest of the marinade on top so that a crispy crust appears on the surface of the shins. To ensure that the dish is evenly baked, the dish can be covered with aluminum foil. But do not forget to remove it in 15-20 minutes. Otherwise, the chicken and potatoes will not turn out ruddy. The approximate time spent in the oven is 60 minutes. The recommended baking temperature is 180-190 degrees. After removing the foil, you can increase the heating intensity or turn on the grill function (if available).

Serve hot baked chicken drumsticks with potatoes.

Peel the potatoes, cut them into thick circles, salt and pepper. Put the potatoes in a saucepan for baking, add lavrushka.

Put a layer of onion cut into rings on the potatoes. The photo shows how I did it.

Sprinkle the chicken legs with salt and pepper. Now, they need to be beautifully laid on potatoes and onions. Pour some water into the dish (about half a glass).

When baked, they will become beautiful and ruddy if smeared with sour cream. Here's how I did it.

We will bake the drumsticks at 200 ° C until the potatoes are completely cooked: they should be easily pierced with a knife. The readiness of the meat is determined by the golden crust and light juice, which is released when pierced.

Now, let the dish cool down a little and then you can put it on the table right in the container in which it was baked.

The fermented milk product will soften the chicken, and most importantly, it will give the skin an appetizing crust when you open the foil. The second trick is to pour some water or broth into the pan where the chicken and vegetables will be baked. The steam that forms under the foil will not allow the meat to dry out and will bring the potatoes to condition faster, they will not be hard and will not burn.

How to cook chicken legs in the oven with potatoes

I cut the chicken legs at the joints into two parts: thighs and drumsticks. The total weight of the meat is 700 g. For the marinade, I combined and mixed sour cream, salt (1 tsp. Incomplete), pepper, dry herbs and garlic, passed through a press, in a bowl.

With the resulting sauce, I smeared the chicken on all sides and left for 30-40 minutes for marinating, tightening the bowl with plastic wrap.

In the meantime, I peeled the potatoes and carrots, cut them into small circles about 0.5 cm thick. The large onion was also peeled and chopped into rings. I put all the vegetables in a baking dish. I added 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, salt, pepper and sweet ground paprika (it will give an appetizing color to the vegetables). She mixed it well with her hands.

On top of the vegetable "pillow" I laid the pickled chicken legs, and poured the remnants of the unabsorbed marinade there. So that when baking the vegetables have time to cook, and the meat does not dry out, do not forget to pour 100 ml of broth into the mold.

Sealed tightly on top with foil - it will prevent steam from escaping from the mold. I sent it to a preheated oven, baked at 180-200 degrees for 40 minutes. Then you need to remove the foil and make sure that the potatoes are ready - if it is easily pierced with a knife, then everything is in order, if not, then hold it under the foil for a little more.

After that, remove the foil and return the chicken and potatoes back to the oven for another 15 minutes at 200-220 degrees, so that the skin has time to brown.

Sprinkle the finished dish with dill or green onions to give it the scent of spring greenery. And rather we invite everyone to the table! In addition, pickles can be served, barrel cucumbers and vegetable salads are especially good.
