How to bake chicken drumsticks in the oven in mayonnaise, garlic and spices

We wash the shins with water and wipe them dry with a napkin. Then, place it in a container, add salt, pepper and coat with chopped garlic.
Sprinkle with paprika and turmeric. This is what it looks like in my photo.
Add mayonnaise and coat the chicken pieces with spices and mayonnaise with your hands.
Carefully coat all sides of the drumsticks, then place them in a bowl where they are pressed tightly against each other, cover with a lid and place in the refrigerator. It will be better if they stand in the marinade all night.
Before baking, grease the pan with vegetable oil and place it tightly in it, straightening the skin.
Bake in the oven until golden brown at 200°C for 30-40 minutes.

Roll out the dough to about 3 mm thick, cut out a rectangle, and save the scraps.

Chicken legs (magic recipe)
Ingredients:
chicken legs 8-9 pcs
onion 1 piece
garlic 3-4 cloves
carrots 1 piece
bell pepper 1 piece
salt 1 tsp (if you use less chicken, do not forget to proportionally reduce the amount of salt!!!)
Agree, these vegetables are available almost always, at any time of the year. No frills :)
Preparation:
In my opinion, you shouldn't chop the onion too finely.
You also need to chop the garlic
Pour a little vegetable oil into the frying pan
And simmer the onion and garlic over low heat (4-5 minutes)
Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse or fine grater, as you like (you can also chop them in a blender)
And add to the onion
Remove seeds from peppers and rinse. In terms of color, of course, it is better to take any color other than green - yellow, red, orange.
Add to the pan and simmer for another 5 minutes
Wash the chicken legs and remove the skin if desired (we don’t like it for some reason)
Season with salt and add dried herbs as desired
Rub each leg with your hands with this mixture (or just salt), then place them all on top of the vegetables and cover with water
The water should almost completely cover the chicken.
Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes (after 15 minutes, turn each leg over to the other side). During this time, you can prepare absolutely any side dish your heart desires. This chicken goes with everything :)
Be sure to check the readiness at the end - pierce the meatiest leg with a fork: if red-burgundy juice starts to flow out, simmer more, if it’s transparent white, it’s ready!

Pour marinade over chicken legs.
Mix everything well, cover with a lid and leave to marinate for several hours in the refrigerator.
And now that it's time to put the chicken legs in the oven, you can decide how to cook them - with or without breadcrumbs. In the first case, dip each chicken leg in bread crumbs so that they cover it completely.
Place the chicken legs in a baking dish lined with foil. As you can see,

Drumsticks in mayonnaise is a universal dish, loved by housewives for its taste, satiety, availability of products and the easy process of preparing ingredients and preparing the dish itself. Drumsticks in mayonnaise are good for a family dinner, a meeting with friends or a holiday table. They can be served as a hearty snack, as the main component of a hot dish with a side dish of vegetables and cereals.
Drumsticks in mayonnaise - general principles
The set of ingredients for the basic recipe is minimal: the drumsticks themselves, mayonnaise, salt, spices.
Buy drumsticks that are the same size so they can be marinated and baked at the same time. Rinse the selected legs thoroughly and dry. After this, feel free to proceed either to marinating 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 mayonnaise with your favorite spices and herbs, place the legs in this mixture and soak them in the marinade for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
You can significantly speed up the process by thoroughly rubbing the legs with a similar mixture. For great taste, in this case it is recommended to make small cuts in the drumsticks.
I use both store-bought and homemade mayonnaise. Additionally, most often they add herbs, oregano, cardamom, garlic, curry, a mixture of peppers - there are no restrictions, chicken meat is combined with almost all spices.
The dish will be much more satisfying if you add vegetables: potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, peppers, zucchini, tomatoes and others. Interesting and unusual are drumsticks in mayonnaise with prunes, dried apricots, and apple.
Most often, an oven is used for cooking. But it turns out no less tasty in a frying pan, in a slow cooker, or in the microwave. And the shish kebab on the grill made from drumsticks in mayonnaise is beyond praise.
