Ingredients
To cook chicken thighs in the oven you will need:
- chicken legs (medium-sized) - 4 pcs;
- tomato sauce or homemade adjika- 2 tbsp. l;
- sour cream 15-20% - 4 tbsp. l;
- garlic - 2 cloves;
- mustard (paste) - 1 tsp;

How to cook chicken legs with a crispy crust in the oven. Recipe
Wash the chicken parts well. If there are remnants of feathers, I pull them out with tweezers or clean them off. excess fat I cut off, do not touch the skin, it can then be tucked up so that areas of meat are not exposed.
I won’t stuff the legs, I’ll make it easier. You have probably noticed that when you rub garlic on a chicken, it either burns or the flavor disappears altogether. To eliminate all troubles and make the chicken meat spicy, with the aroma of garlic, I do not rub over the skin, but under it. Slightly cut with a knife, turn away. There will be a thin film inside - it is easily torn with fingers and a pocket is formed, as it were.
Now it is very easy to rub the chicken with any spices, sauce, ketchup - choose what you like. I mixed 1.5 tbsp. l. thick tomato sauce with chopped garlic. I added a little salt and smeared the meat, pushing it deeper. I want to note that this procedure is carried out only with the outer side of the leg. The interior does not rub.
I returned the skin to its place and left the chicken legs to marinate while the oven warmed up.
I make the sauce with sour cream. Simply because with mayonnaise it is too fatty for us, too high in calories. You can take what you like. I add two types of mustard to sour cream: ordinary table and with grains.
I mix. I add flour. The flour will thicken the sauce, it will immediately “take up” with a crust and will not drain when baking. This simple trick ensures that you get chicken legs crispy, juicy and ruddy.
Adding spices or not is up to you. I made the sauce brighter and a little spicier. Mixed with chili and turmeric. From spices, you can add Provencal herbs, curry powder, any pepper, thyme, basil - anything that is suitable for cooking chicken.
Salted to taste. Mix until smooth, thick mass without lumps.
For a more contrasting taste and bright color added tomato sauce (ketchup, adjika, tomato paste will do).
The oven has already warmed up to 200 degrees. I coat the chicken legs on top with a uniform thick layer of sauce.
I advise you to cover the baking dish with foil so that the edges protrude a little, and you can cover the chicken. Do not wrap, but only cover without touching the surface. With this preparation, the legs will not burn either from below or from above, the crust will be crispy, evenly ruddy.
I put the legs in a hot oven for 40-45 minutes. Readiness is determined by appearance and breathtaking aroma spreading through the kitchen. But for safety, you can get it and pierce it in the highest place. From the finished chicken, the juice will stand out transparent.
Here you go, delicious chicken legs cooked in the oven, ready to serve. While baking, think about what side dish will be served with and prepare it in advance.
We decided that we do not need a side dish, it will be enough fresh vegetables. It turned out very fragrant, juicy chicken legs baked in the oven with a crispy crust, the recipe is simple and quick. What else I like about this dish is the ability to change the composition of the marinade. If you know the secret chips that I talked about in the recipe, you can come up with different combinations and the result will always be excellent. Bon Appetit everyone! Your Plushkin.
