Drumstick in dough - general cooking principles
Chicken drumsticks are approximately the same size, so are ideal for roasting in the oven. Before cooking, they need to wash, dry. Then sprinkle with spices, marinate if necessary. If the recipe does not specify the exact name and number of spices, then use different seasonings to your taste. You can put raw chicken in the dough or pre-fried in a pan until half cooked.
The dough for the legs often use ready-made puff, but you can make it yourself. Homemade pastries always get tastier. You can take both yeast and unleavened dough.

Shin can be:
• just wrap dough strips;
• form the bags.
The last option allows you to put any fillings to your taste. For the bag, the dough layer is cut into squares, with sides of at least 15 cm. The size depends on the presence or absence, as well as the amount of filling. The edges of the dough are fixed with a ribbon of dough or thread. To simply wrap the legs with strips, roll out the dough and cut into long ribbons. And in order that the winding is not damaged when baking, the edge is laid under the piece.
To make the shins in the dough get a beautiful color and crispy crust, they need to be greased with yolk or whole egg before baking. If you have not done this for some reason or have simply forgotten, after baking, hot drumsticks in the dough can be greased with a piece of butter.
