Shins in mayonnaise - general principles
The set of products for the basic recipe is minimal: the drumsticks themselves, mayonnaise, salt, spices.
Get the shins of the same size so that they are both marinated and baked. Rinse the selected legs thoroughly, dry. After that, boldly proceed either to pickling, or directly to heat treatment.
Chicken meat is soft and does not require long soaking. Therefore, if you decide to marinate the drumsticks, you just need to mix the mayonnaise with your favorite spices and herbs, put the legs in this mass and let them stand in the marinade for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
You can significantly speed up the process by carefully rubbing the legs with a similar mixture. For great taste, in this case, it is recommended to make small incisions in the legs.
Mayonnaise I use both store and home. In addition, herbs, oregano, cardamom, garlic, curry, a mixture of peppers are most often laid - there are no restrictions, chicken meat is combined with almost all spices.
The dish will turn out much more satisfying if you add vegetables: potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, peppers, zucchini, tomatoes and others. The shanks in mayonnaise with prunes, dried apricots, apples are interesting and unusual.
Most often, an oven is used for cooking. But no less tasty is obtained in a pan, in a slow cooker, in a microwave. And the barbecue on the grill from the legs in mayonnaise goes beyond all praise.
