We really liked this dish! It looks so unusual and tastes delicious! Like a pie, only inside is not a filling, but a whole leg. Delicious both hot and cold. This recipe can be diversified. Cut the dough not into strips, but into squares. As a filling, add a couple of spoons of mashed potatoes to the shin. Place the legs themselves vertically and wrap the dough around them in a bag. You don't need a side dish for such a dish!

How to bake chicken shin in puff pastry in the oven? Prepare the products. Remove the dough from the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to defrost. You can take any of your favorites as condiments. I took the paprika.

Wash and dry the chicken shins. If you wish, you can remove the skin from them.

Combine salt and spices. Grate prepared shins with this mixture. You can leave them to spend half an hour.

Heat the pan, pour vegetable oil over it. Lay out your shins. Over a high heat, fry the shins until ruddy on all sides, for 5 minutes each.

Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to a minimum and leave the shins to fry for 15 minutes. Then put them on a plate and cool completely.

Sprinkle the working surface with flour. Place the defrosted dough on top of it. Roll it into a thin layer, about 2 mm thick. Cut the dough into longitudinal strips about 3cm wide. It is convenient to do this using a pizza knife.

Wind each shin in the resulting strips in a spiral, starting from the bottom, making a small overlap of dough on each other.

Line a baking tray with baking paper or place a Teflon mat on top of it. Place on the calf tray in the batter. Beat the yolk slightly. Brush each shin with a yolk on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Wrap the bottom of the legs in small pieces of foil so that they do not burn when baked.

Bake the shins in the dough in the oven at 180 ° C for 35-40 minutes until golden. When feeding, remove the foil. Enjoy your meal!

In addition to the purchased, you can use your own dough. You can choose a recipe for homemade puff dough for this pastry in this catalog.

Keep in mind that everyone has different ovens. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those indicated in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of the ovens!

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oil is useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoke at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoke point. They have a lot of unfiltered organic particles, which quickly begin to burn. Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoke point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, in a pan or grill, make sure you use oil with a high point of smoke. The most common of the oils with a high point of smoke: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
