How delicious and beautiful to bake chicken shins in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this.

To make caramel marinade, you can take an aluminum bucket. Pour salt and sugar into it. Put on the heat. I cook caramel in the smallest burner over minimal heat. As soon as the bottom of the bucket begins to heat, the sugar will begin to melt.

If you put sugar on a big fire, then some of it will immediately start burning, and the remaining one will not even begin to melt. As a result, there will be burnt smoke. When sugar melts at the very minimum, the whole process is easy to control. Spoon some sugar grains into the already melted part.

Despite the minimal heat, the sugar will melt quickly enough. If overexposed, he will start to burn. In this case, it is better to underpave. Let it be better to stay a little saccharine than bring the caramel to the burnt smoke.

Gently pour hot water into the caramel. In this case, the caramel will hiss.

When water is added, the caramel hardens. Leave the bucket on fire and stir constantly. Now fire can be done more. Bring to the boil.

Boil for 2-3 minutes. During this time, the caramel at the bottom of the bucket will melt. Remove it from the heat and cool to a warm state.

Pour the resulting caramel sauce over the chicken shins.

Leave the lower legs for 30 minutes to marinate. Considering that the sauce is quite liquid and flows to the bottom of the bowl, stir the shins periodically.

For baking, take any heat-resistant shape. It can be metal, glass or ceramic. Brush the bottom of the form with a little vegetable oil and lay out the prepared shins. Before putting in the tin, dip each shin once more in the caramel sauce. Top the laid out shins with caramel sauce. It is not necessary to pour the whole. But let him be a little at the bottom of the form.

Place the tin in the oven, warmed to 190 degrees, for 40-50 minutes. When baking, navigate your oven. The finished shins will become caramel-colored.

You can serve such shins to any side dish. By the way, when baking, you will get a very tasty broth at the bottom of the form, which you can pour over the side dish. Enjoy your meal!
