Ingredients

  • finished puff pastry- 500 g
  • chicken drumsticks - 4 pcs.
  • potatoes - 4 pcs.
  • champignons - 150 g
  • onion - 1 pc.
  • vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. l.
  • butter - 30 g
  • salt and pepper - to taste
  • egg yolk - 1 pc.

Cooking

    For cooking, you need puff pastry, both yeast-free and yeast, purchased or homemade, are suitable. While the dough is defrosting, I am preparing chicken legs and potato-mushroom filling. I wash the shins and wipe them dry, cut off large cartilages. I rub with salt and pepper, fry in hot vegetable oil until tender.

    I cut the mushrooms into large pieces, the onion into a small cube. I fry in the same oil where the chicken was cooked. First, I pass the onion, and then add the mushrooms and bring them to a golden brown.

    In parallel, I boil the potatoes in salted water, until fully cooked. Then I drain all the liquid and knead in a puree, adding butter. I combine fried mushrooms and mashed potatoes. Stir, adding salt and pepper to taste. The filling is ready.

    I roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3 mm and cut it into squares 15x15 cm (the number of squares should be equal to the number of drumsticks).

    I form small cakes from scraps of puff pastry and lay them in the center of the squares - due to this, the bottom of the bags will not soak from the filling and tear.

    I spread the potato-mushroom filling - about 2 tablespoons for each square.

    Place the chicken leg vertically on top.

    I lift the edges of the dough, collecting them around the lower leg in the form of a bag. To fix the shape, I wrap the top with a tape from the baking sleeve (or thread), not too tight.

    If there is dough left, then you can additionally decorate the bags with a thin edge, indenting the thread, or simply bend the top edges down a little. I wrap the protruding bone with foil so that it does not burn. I spread the blanks on a baking sheet lined with parchment, grease the bags with loose yolk and send them to a preheated oven.

    I bake at 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.

It remains to remove the foil and fixing tape (thread). You can additionally decorate with green onion feathers to make chicken legs in bags look more elegant. Serve immediately while hot. Bon appetit to you and your guests!

How to cook chicken legs in a bag of puff pastry:

Peel the skin off the potatoes and boil in salted water until crispy. Drain the water completely and transfer the soft potato tubers to a convenient cup. Mash with a fork while adding butter. We get crumbly mashed potatoes.

We remove the thick stems from the washed and dried dill, and chop the remaining thin branches finely with a knife and add to the still warm potato mass. Crush the garlic cloves with a press and also add to the potatoes. Mix and set aside for a while.

My chicken legs, looking through and removing the remnants of feathers. Dry and rub the legs with salt and pepper.

Then fry the chicken legs in a pan until golden brown. Put on a plate and let cool.

Defrost in advance at room temperature the layers of the finished puff pastry. It is recommended to use yeast-free puff pastry. And cut it into squares. You need to get six small and six larger squares.

Then all the resulting squares are slightly rolled out with a rolling pin and folded in pairs, placing a small square in the center of a large one.

Then in the middle of the resulting construction of two squares we place 1-2 spoons potato filling. No more, otherwise the bag may tear during the baking process.

Then gently press the fried leg into the mashed potatoes.

And, lifting up the edges of the dough, we form a bag. So that the dough does not unfold during the baking process, we fix the bag with either a thin strip of dough, or a piece of ordinary thread, which we must remove after cooking.

Similarly, we wrap the rest of the chicken legs, resulting in six bags.

We shift all the chicken legs in a bag of puff pastry to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Lubricate the puff pastry with a beaten egg and bake the chicken legs in a bag of puff pastry at 180 degrees until golden brown. Approximately it will take about 30-40 minutes to cook.

Chicken legs in puff pastry in the oven recipe

  1. Chicken legs, washed and wiped with a napkin, rub with salt and garlic cloves squeezed through a press, sprinkle with aromatic spices. Sweet paprika, turmeric, oregano, etc. are great. The main thing is not to abuse additives, so as not to interrupt the natural taste of chicken meat, but only slightly emphasize it.
  2. We cut the cheese into thin slices of a suitable size and place it under the chicken skin (that is, the cheese slices should be “in the pocket” between the meat and the skin).
  3. Sprinkle the working surface with flour, and then lightly roll out the pre-thawed puff pastry in one direction. We cut the layer into strips about 1.5 cm wide.
  4. Grated with spices and stuffed with cheese, chicken legs are wrapped with ribbons of dough. Wrap loosely - leave free gaps between the strips so that the chicken bakes faster. If one strip of dough is not enough to wrap the shin, take the next strip and glue them together. We lay out the blanks on a baking sheet.
  5. Lightly shake the egg, combining the protein and yolk into a single composition. Lubricate the dough with the egg mixture, and then sprinkle with sesame seeds. In addition to white, you can take black seeds to make chicken legs look more interesting and festive.
  6. We send the baking sheet to the oven heated to 180 degrees for 40-60 minutes (until the chicken meat is ready and the dough is golden). Serve the chicken hot, adding vegetables or a more satisfying side dish.

Chicken legs in puff pastry in the oven are ready! Bon appetit!

Prepare products. Wash the chicken thighs, pat dry with paper towels and, if desired, remove the skin.

Salt and season to taste. Leave to rest for half an hour.

Pour a little into the pan vegetable oil and put on fire. Put the chicken drumsticks in a pan and fry on both sides over high heat without a lid for 5-7 minutes, then cover, reduce the heat and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Transfer the fried drumsticks to a plate to cool completely.

Roll out the defrosted dough slightly and cut into thin strips about 2-2.5 centimeters wide.

Wrap each drumstick with strips of puff pastry in a spiral, slightly retreating from the bone, making a slight overlap of the dough on each other. In order not to burn the ends of the legs, they must be wrapped in foil.

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, put the prepared chicken drumsticks on parchment. In order for the dough to acquire a golden crust, it is necessary to grease it with egg yolk, beaten with a fork. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Next, put the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for about 35-40 minutes until a stable golden crust appears.

It would seem that there is something special here - drumsticks and dough.

Simple ingredients that are actively used in the daily menu. But in fact, when baking chicken, meat juice is released, it soaks the dough, and a crisp is fried on top.

Shank in dough - general principles of preparation

Chicken drumsticks are approximately the same size, so they are ideal for roasting in the oven. Before cooking, they need to be washed and dried. Then sprinkle with spices, marinate if necessary. If the exact name and quantity of spices is not indicated in the recipe, then we use various seasonings to our taste. You can wrap raw chicken in the dough or pre-fried in a pan until half cooked.

Dough for shins is most often used ready-made puff, but you can make it yourself. Homemade cakes always taste better. You can take both yeast and unleavened dough. If it is frozen, then you first need to thaw, then spread it out, sprinkle flour on both sides and roll it out to the desired thickness.

Shins can:

Just wrap with strips of dough;

Form pouches.

The last option allows you to put any fillings to your taste. For a bag, a layer of dough is cut into squares, with sides of at least 15 cm. The size depends on the presence or absence, as well as the amount of filling. The edges of the dough are fixed with a ribbon of dough or thread. To simply wrap the shins in strips, the dough is rolled out and cut into long ribbons. And in order for the winding not to be damaged during baking, the edge is laid under a piece.

So that the drumsticks in the dough acquire beautiful colour and a fried crust, they need to be greased with yolk or a whole egg before baking. If for some reason you didn’t do this or simply forgot, then after baking the hot drumsticks in the dough can be greased with a piece of butter.

So that the bottom of the puff bags does not tear from the juice, and is stronger, you can put an additional cake rolled out of scraps on the bottom of the dough piece.

Puff pastry tends to stick out in the oven, no matter how firmly you fasten it. To prevent this from happening, the joints must be lubricated with water or an egg.
