Step 1:
How to fry chicken legs on an electric grill? Prepare all the specified products. According to the recipe, you can cook other parts of the chicken, wings, breast or thighs are very tasty.
Step 2:
So, rinse the legs under running cold water, remove the remaining feathers, if any. Dry the chicken with a kitchen towel to remove excess water. Send it to a deep, convenient for pickling dishes.
Step 3:
Add spices and seasonings. What spices are suitable for pickling? Pick them to your taste. You can also use ready-made seasonings for chicken and meat. This time I took suneli hops, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground peppers and dry thyme (the amount of each spice is 0.5 tsp.). Add a few rosemary petals if desired. Pour vegetable oil and soy sauce into the bowl. Add salt to taste, but keep in mind that soy sauce is salty by itself.
Step 4:
Mix everything thoroughly so that each leg ends up in a fragrant marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and leave at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes or in the refrigerator for a longer time.
Step 5:
Preheat the contact pressure grill to 180 degrees. Lubricate the grill plates with vegetable refined oil using a silicone brush. Put the marinated chicken legs to fry. Close the grill lid and cook the chicken for about 25-30 minutes. How to check the readiness of meat? Make an incision in the leg to the bone. If you see clear juice, it means the chicken is ready!
Step 6:
Serve chicken drumsticks hot with fresh vegetables, herbs and all kinds of salads.

Chicken marinated in spices, soy sauce and oil can be fried in a regular frying pan or in a grill pan.
Meat turns out to be incredibly delicious if it is cooked on the grill.

Bon appetit!

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
