To cook the above dishes correctly, you should definitely pay attention to the quality of the chicken legs you choose. If you buy a fresh product, then you should remember that fresh meat should have a pink color, which should be uniform.

If the color of the chicken meat is duller, this indicates that the meat has already begun to deteriorate. If the meat has a gray color, then this means that it can no longer be cooked, since it has already completely deteriorated. This is also evidenced by the presence of yellow spots on the meat. In addition, the smell of chicken meat is important.

Spoiled meat has a strong odor. It will not be possible to beat it off by cooking chicken with a lot of spices or adding aromatic additives.

What spices to choose for stewing chicken legs? You can buy a ready-made kit and use it. But you can also use individual spices or herbs that are most suitable for chicken dishes.

For example, one of the best seasonings for chicken is paprika. It can rub meat before frying. This spice has a very delicate aroma, but does not have a sharp taste. In addition, it gives the dish a slightly spicy taste.

When preparing stewed chicken legs in tomato sauce, paprika must be added, even in the amount of a teaspoon per glass of sauce. In addition, paprika can be used to decorate the dish after cooking.

To give a special flavor to chicken meat, you can use garlic when stewing. It is not necessary to choose garlic powder and add it to the sauce. This option is suitable when, in addition to obtaining aroma, there is a goal to give the dish a sharp taste, and also if it is not possible to use fresh garlic.

If you use fresh garlic, you should peel a few cloves and cut them into two parts and add when stewing. Garlic will give all its flavor to the dish, but will not make it spicy.

If there is a desire to add not only the smell, but also the taste of garlic to the dish, then you can chop the garlic on the garlic, finely chop with a knife or crush in a mortar and add to the sauce in which the drumsticks are stewed.
