Chicken legs..

[sparklefarts]

I am forever having either rice or chips with chicken legs, need some inspiration!

What would you do with chicken legs?

Thank you!

I make curries.

If you're not used to that, just buy a curry paste or a curry sauce at first.

Here's a very basic way to make a curry for someone without all the spices.

Take the skin off the legs

Chop up one onion
Gently fry for 5 mins in oil.
Then add one or two cloves of garlic which you've crushed
Cook for another 5 mins...stir regularly to stop it sticking...make sure it doesn't go brown.

Throw the legs in and add salt and pepper

Fry them for a bit ...5 mins
Now add your jar of sauce or, some curry paste and a can of tomatoes (chopped)

Let it simmer for about half an hour. Check the legs are cooked right through.

Serve with rice and fresh coriander.

If you like curry, it's worth reading up on how to make the basic sauces properly.

You can also add a stock cube...vegetable or chicken and some extra water. It's better with that.

Add any veg you've got hanging about if you want. Or add a side of green veg.

Ah not a bad shout. We make curries fairly often (just pataks paste) but always use breast meat, don't know why I've never thought to use legs!

Bone-in chicken is best for curries in my opinion. It's far tastier.

Also chicken casserole/coq au vin. With green beans as a side.

Or cook the legs then take the meat off to add to a pie, I make a simple roux, add bacon and leeks and a puff pastry top.
