Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h 15 min

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients. To cook buckwheat with chicken in the oven, we will need: chicken drumsticks or other parts of the chicken to taste; buckwheat; water (boiling water); tomato paste (or ketchup); carrots; vegetable oil for frying and a set of spices: dried oregano; turmeric; ground paprika; ground black pepper and salt.
Step 2:
Wash and dry the chicken drumsticks. Add garlic, turmeric, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper passed through the press to the shins.
Step 3:
Mix everything thoroughly and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
Step 4:
Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater.
Step 5:
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the carrots for about 3 minutes.
Step 6:
Add buckwheat to carrots. Stir and remove the pan from the heat.
Step 7:
Put the buckwheat and carrots in a baking dish and flatten.
Step 8:
Spread the chicken drumsticks on top.
Step 9:
Dilute tomato paste in 500 ml of boiling water.
Step 10:
Pour the resulting mixture into a form with chicken.
Step 11:
Close the mold tightly with foil. Bake buckwheat with chicken for about 40 minutes at 180 ° C.
Step 12:
At the end of the baking time, all the excess water will be absorbed into the buckwheat groats and we will get baked seals on a pillow of buckwheat with carrots. Bon appetit!

Being in a sealed environment under a dense layer of foil, the components gradually reach readiness, soaked in juices and saturated with each other's flavors. The swollen grits remain crumbly, as with traditional cooking, chicken meat turns out tender and soft. As a result, you will get a great homemade dish for the whole family, everything is very simple and convenient!

In addition to the shins, you can use any other parts of the chicken to taste: breasts with or without skin, fillets or bones, whole hams, thighs, wings.

It is very important to choose a delicious tomato paste or ketchup. Since, in fact, the main taste of the dish depends on it. Tomato paste impregnates both meat and buckwheat. And if the tomato paste is too salty, then salt the chicken carefully, otherwise you can over-salt the whole dish. Or you can add a little tomato paste.
