Oven-baked chicken legs with creamed corn topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 4 chicken drumsticks with skin (about 450 g)
- 4 chicken thighs with skin (about 650 g)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons of wheat flour
- 12 cloves garlic (about 1 head)
- 2 lemons (finely grated zest of one lemon and juice of two lemons)
- 2 tbsp (30 g) butter
- 450 g frozen corn, defrosted
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 230°C. Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Rub chicken legs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then coat with 2 tablespoons flour. Place the chicken in the pan and cook, turning, until light golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice and stir. Place the pan with the chicken legs in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the corn and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon flour, then pour in the milk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chives and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the chicken legs on plates and pour the juices over them. Serve with creamed corn.
