by Chicken legs fry is a simple chicken leg recipe that is cooked on the stovetop after the chicken drumsticks have been marinated in spices. Chicken leg pieces are also known as chicken drumsticks and are typically baked or deep-fried after being marinated with various herbs, spices, or masalas.
About This Recipe
Here, I used one of the different methods where the chicken is not deep fried or baked, but rather slightly roasted in some oil.
The roasted chicken leg piece can be served on its own, as a starter recipe, or as a side dish to any of the main course recipes. Check out the blog for more chicken starters like tandoori chicken, chicken 65, pair chicken leg boneless chicken thighs, and chicken seekh kabab.
To get the flavors infused into the chicken, marinate the legs for at least an hour with aromatic spices.
If you only have half an hour to cook, reduce the marination time to 30 minutes and marinate in the refrigerator so that all of the masalas are perfectly absorbed by the chicken pieces…
The flavors of the chicken pieces are absolutely restaurant-quality, and I usually don’t add too many flavors and keep every dish mildly spicy and flavorful.
