Chicken legs recipes

18 recipes

Here are my recipes with chicken legs, thighs and drumsticks — patties, soups, oven bakes and braises. A good place to start is chicken thigh patties or the spicy chicken soup with drumsticks, rice and chili.

How I cook chicken legs

Store-bought leg quarters I parboil for a few minutes before baking, then brush them with mustard and soy sauce for a dark glaze — oven-baked chicken leg quarters. Drumsticks I braise in tomato sauce in 50 minutes or with eggplant, peppers and potatoes. Thighs go into steamed patties and homemade sausage with turkey fillet.

If you want a hearty dinner

Drumsticks baked with potatoes in tomato sauce, chicken with black beans and fettuccine with chicken legs in cream sauce.
