Chicken drumsticks with rice: cooking details
Shins with rice can be served for lunch or dinner, and they can also be the main treat at a festive feast.
If you have a slow cooker, shin with rice is more convenient to cook in it. The multicooker bowl is made of such a material that neither rice nor meat in it burns. Its volume allows you to cook dinner for a large family. The main thing is that the number of legs coincides with the number of consumers.
The taste of the dish depends on the added seasonings and spices. Moreover, almost any spice is suitable for rice. To make the rice aromatic and piquant, with subtle oriental notes, the legs can be pickled with spices such as turmeric, curry, paprika. Thanks to these bright seasonings rice will turn yellow-orange. If you add green or brownish spices (dill, parsley, coriander, basil) in the cooking process, then the rice will get their shade. Tibia with rice can be cooked in the form of pilaf, adding onions and a large amount of carrots. In this case, you need to correctly calculate the amount of water, so that instead of pilau there is no rice porridge. Usually adhere to this dosage: for one cup of rice requires two glasses of water. But if round grain rice or quickly boiled soft, then water is poured half a glass less. If you like risotto, then you can pour water, as they say, on the eye.
Rice during cooking in a slow cooker do not mix, so as not to damage the integrity of the cereal.
Some housewives are advised to take long-grain or steamed rice, as it does not stick together, does not boil soft, and remains crumbly. But he is completely devoid of the rice smell that many people like so much. Therefore, choosing rice, consider this fact.
Particular attention should be paid to the choice of the legs. It is better to use chicken legs or young chickens. Meat with rice is stewed in a small amount of water, and the legs of the old bird just do not have time to cook. But in this case, you can find a way out. Shin need to first fry, then stew separately from the rice and only then lay the cereal.
For cooking dishes with rice, multivarks have “Rice” or “Pilaf” programs. Therefore, prepare the dish, following the instructions attached to your multicooker. If there is no such mode in the multicooker, then first fry the meat in “Baking” or “Frying” mode, and then continue cooking by switching the multicooker to “Stewing / Soup”. But in this case, do not pour a lot of water, as she will not have time to boil away by the time of cooking not only rice, but also shins.
