Chicken Drumsticks in a Pouch

Chicken drumsticks in a pouch are pan-fried chicken drumsticks with mashed potato, wrapped in puff pastry and baked until golden for 25-35 minutes at 180 °C. It looks very impressive, yet it's simple and inexpensive to make. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• chicken drumsticks
• salt and spices to taste
• vegetable oil for frying
• ready-made puff pastry
• mashed potato

Method

 

1. Take the puff pastry out ahead of time so it thaws.
2. Wash and pat dry the chicken drumsticks, marinate with spices, and fry until fully cooked.
3. Make the mashed potato.
4. Cut the pastry into pieces and roll out slightly. Place mashed potato in the center, set a drumstick on top, and gather into a pouch.
5. Tie the pouch with foil and cover the top with foil as well.
6. Bake for 25-35 minutes at 180 °C until golden.
   

Tips

• Take the pastry out ahead of time so it has time to thaw.
• Be sure to fully fry the drumsticks before assembling - in the oven they just finish cooking together with the pastry.
• Tie the pouch with foil and cover the exposed bone with foil too, so it doesn't burn.
