Chicken Drumsticks in a Pan with Gravy
Tender, soaked in vegetable juice, chicken drumsticks in a pan with gravy captivate with their exquisite taste and the availability of ingredients. The chicken leg is flattened due to cuts along the bone and is fried until golden brown. A separate vegetable gravy is prepared, thickened with a flour mixture to a moderate density, and then stewed together with the drumsticks for a certain period of time under a lid.

Show ingredients
- chicken leg – 5 pcs. (800 g);
- purified water – 200 ml;
- flour (all-purpose) – 2 tbsp;
- garlic – 2 cloves;
- tomato – 2 pcs;
- onion – 70 g;
- carrot – 100 g;
- bell pepper – 1 pc;
- spicy pepper – 0.5 pod;
- turmeric – 1 tsp;
- bay leaf – 2 pcs;
- black ground pepper, Italian herbs – to taste;
- odorless vegetable oil – 30 ml for the drumsticks and 30 ml for the gravy;
- salt – to taste.
Preparation
- Prepare the ingredients for cooking chicken drumsticks with gravy in a pan. The amount of spicy pepper can be adjusted to your taste.
- Wash the chicken drumsticks and dry them with a paper towel.
- To ensure the drumsticks are well fried and not raw, they need to be flattened. First, cut the meat along the bone with a sharp knife, then cut the tendons so that the meat slides down easily.
- Season the prepared drumsticks with pepper, salt, and rub them with turmeric on both sides. Set them aside for now.
- Take care of the vegetable gravy. For this, grate the carrot coarsely.
- Chop the onion into medium cubes.
- Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and chop it similarly to the onion. Finely chop the spicy pepper, removing the seeds.
- Dice the tomatoes with a knife.
- In heated oil, fry the onion until it begins to turn golden.
- Add the carrot and both types of pepper.
- After 2 minutes of frying, add the tomatoes to the pan. Stew everything for another 2 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the thickening agent by mixing flour with a small amount of water first, and once all the lumps are broken, add the remaining water.
- Pour the flour thickener into the gravy, season with salt, and stir. Stew the mixture for a couple of minutes over low heat.
- The gravy should be of moderate thickness. If it is too thick, add a little more water.
- In another pan, heat oil and add the drumsticks.
- Fry them on both sides until browned for about 5-7 minutes.
- Then pour the prepared gravy over the drumsticks.
- Add bay leaves and press the garlic through a press.
- Cover the pan with a lid and stew the drumsticks under the vegetable gravy for 20 minutes.
A hearty and very tasty dish, chicken drumsticks in a pan with gravy, can be served with any side dish. The vegetable gravy best moistens and enriches porridge, country-style potatoes or pasta. And the delicate meat just melts in your mouth, despite being part of the muscular leg.
Try it, enjoy your meal!
