If you are planning to cook chicken legs with garlic and mayonnaise in the oven, the recipe provides for variation. Do you like potatoes? Then increase the number of tubers per serving.
Preparing potatoes
First, let's clean the potatoes.Then each tuber must be cut into thin circles. Then take a deep baking sheet and place the potatoes on the bottom in two layers (the gaps between the circles should also be covered). If desired, a baking sheet can be slightly sprinkled with vegetable oil. In fact, this procedure is not at all obligatory, because the chicken legs in the oven, baked with mayonnaise and garlic, will give natural fat. As soon as the bottom of the pan is not visible at all, it is the turn of mayonnaise.
There are a few more layers ahead of us.Then again lay out the potatoes, on the same principle as before. Then again we grease the lined circles with mayonnaise. If you still have potatoes, place a third layer on a baking sheet. Grease the top again with mayonnaise. It remains to lightly salt the ingredients.
We prepare meat
Go to the second and third ingredients.our dish. Ham with garlic and mayonnaise, baked in the oven, do not require pre-marinating. With my meat, then we pierce each leg with a sharp knife in two places. Peeled garlic cloves must be cut in half. Each lobule is placed inside the leg at the puncture site. Now you need to lay out the stuffed meat on top of the potatoes and cover again with mayonnaise.
The final stage
We send the baking sheet to warmed up to two hundreddegrees oven. The total cooking time is one hour. However, the process must be monitored. If you notice that the meat is already browned, reduce the temperature by 20 degrees. Tip: chicken legs with garlic and mayonnaise, baked in the oven, you can periodically pour the juice that has accumulated at the bottom of the pan. This procedure will protect the skin of baked meat from excessive rigidity. As a result, with a minimum of preparations, we get an excellent result.
