And having figured out what to feed, all that remains is to go to the store and buy everything you need.

Chicken legs with potatoes in the oven in the sleeve
This recipe appeared in my collection when baking sleeves had just begun to be sold. I liked this method so much that I started cooking meat and vegetables in it, and combining it with various additives. This cooking option is really very convenient: it doesn’t burn, no turning over, no stirring required. There is no need to wash the oven of grease (Oh! This is the most important thing!), all the juices remain in the sleeve, the products are saturated with them, and, therefore, retain all their juiciness and aroma. Let's start with the simplest thing - cook potatoes and chicken drumsticks in the oven using a sleeve or a baking bag, which is basically the same thing.
Ingredients:
- chicken drumsticks – 6 pcs;
- potatoes – 500-600g;
- onion – 1 piece;
- 1-2 cloves garlic:
- spices for chicken – 1 tsp;
- salt – 1 tsp;
- sour cream – 3 tbsp.

Chicken juice mixes with onions and sour cream and forms a delicious sour cream sauce, due to which we get a delicious juicy chicken with an excellent side dish for it.
Chicken drumsticks in the oven with potatoes in mayonnaise: recipe with photos
Let's complicate it a little - add mayonnaise for impregnation, and cheese for golden brownness. Lightly fry the potatoes. I want to tell you a little why in the first case I don’t fry the potatoes, but in the second I do. When baking in a bag, as I wrote above, all the moisture remains inside and the food does not dry out at all. In addition, the drumsticks lie on top of the potatoes and all the fat and juice that is rendered from them in the oven drips onto the potato slices. Due to this, it turns out juicy. Whereas, if you cook on a baking sheet or in a baking dish without a sleeve or bag, the potatoes may turn out a little dry. Preliminary light frying will prevent it from drying out, will help it bake better and speed up the cooking time. When baking in the oven, if you want to add even more flavor to the dish and diversify it, you can use fresh champignons and/or tomatoes, cutting them into thin slices and placing them under the chicken and on the potatoes.
What we need:
- chicken legs – 4 pcs;
- potatoes – 6-8 pcs;
- onion – 1 head;
- mayonnaise – 1 tbsp;
- spices – 0.5 tsp;
- cheese – 100g;
- vegetable oil – 2 tbsp;
- salt - to taste.

Note to the owner:

- If you want the dish to be golden brown, cut the top of the sleeve after cooking and keep in the oven for another 10 minutes. In general, it is always advisable to use this technique if you want a crispy crust. But there are recipes, for example, potatoes in the sleeve, where it is not at all necessary to do this.
- Potatoes with chicken in the sleeve can be cooked not only in the oven, but also in a slow cooker. To do this, you need to use a small amount of ingredients so that they fit into the multicooker bowl, but do not fit tightly to the walls. You can place a silicone mat on the bottom. Turn on the “Baking” mode for 40 minutes.

- If you wish, you can serve a delicious sauce, such as tomato, with the potatoes.
My favorite “quick dinner” option is chicken legs with potatoes, baked in a sleeve. No other dish produces such delicious potatoes and chicken. There is a minimum of products, it is prepared quickly and effortlessly. Well, a very tasty dish in which all the products are obtained in their own juice. And secondly, there is a minimum of dirty dishes after it, which is also good news.
First of all, we stuff the chicken legs with garlic. To do this, we make small longitudinal cuts in them, where we insert the cloves of garlic.
It is clear that the chicken must be processed - clean and without feathers. 
Now put the legs in a deep plate and add spices in which they will marinate for a short time.
Add salt, pepper, soy sauce and curry to the legs. Mix everything and set aside while we peel the potatoes and preheat the oven. 
Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them into small cubes.
Add grated carrots, vegetable oil and salt and pepper to it. 
Now we put all our preliminary preparations into a baking sleeve, according to the instructions for its use.
Those. We secure the sleeve on both sides with special clips and leave a little room for the bag to swell (meaning, do not wrap the food tightly) and, just in case, make a couple of punctures on the bag with a fork.
We all put the chicken with the potatoes in the oven in the oven for about 50-60 minutes.
After the specified time has passed, remove the products from the oven and check them for readiness. 
They were baked, the question was their color. If you want crispy chicken, you can cut the bag and keep it in the oven for another 15 minutes until the food is covered with an appetizing crust.
In principle, that's all.
As you can see, chicken legs with potatoes baked in a sleeve are prepared very simply, a minimum of dishes are used, which will then have to be washed, and most importantly, all the products are obtained in their own juice. Well, very tasty!
Baked chicken drumsticks are a very beautiful and tasty dish, which is not a shame to serve on a holiday table. They go especially well with potatoes and vegetables. Drumsticks are aromatic and fragrant when using suitable spices and seasonings.
I will prepare chicken meat and vegetables for baking in a sleeve separately.
I defrost chicken drumsticks the night before on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. I wash them and dry them.
For the chicken drumsticks, I need ground paprika and turmeric to give them flavor.
I salt the drumsticks and sprinkle with spices.
I rub the spices and salt lightly into the meat and set the drumsticks aside in a dish to marinate for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, I peel a large onion and carrot.
I peel the potatoes.
I cut the potatoes into small cubes.
I cut the onion into thin slices.
I put chopped potatoes and onions in a separate dish. I'm sorting out the bow.
I do not cut the carrots into thick circles.
I combine carrots with vegetables and salt to taste.
For vegetables I will need a mixture of peppers and "Seasoning for potato dishes." The seasoning includes marjoram, savory, coriander, and chili.
I add about half a teaspoon of spices to the vegetables.
I also add dried dill to suit my taste. Mix all the vegetables and spices well. The aroma is already very seductive.
I also let the vegetables soak in the spices for about ten minutes.
Meanwhile, I turn on the oven.
Place a baking bag on a baking sheet. I place vegetables in it in a thin layer.
I place chicken drumsticks on top of the vegetables.
I let the air out of the bag as much as possible and tie it tightly. I pierce it in several places so that steam escapes and the bag does not break during baking.
I bake chicken drumsticks and vegetables in the oven at 200 degrees for one hour.
Then I cut the bag and check the drumsticks for doneness with a wooden stick. I pierce the drumstick in the thickest place and if a clear liquid comes out, then the meat is ready. If the liquid is pink, then continue baking until done.
Chicken drumsticks baked with potatoes are an independent dish - meat and side dish in one. I serve it on portioned plates with pickled cucumbers and tomatoes.
Potatoes and chicken have different tastes. The potatoes are aromatic and soft. Chicken drumsticks are beautiful, have an excellent and delicate taste. The whole dish turned out juicy and satisfying.
I wish you bon appetit, dear friends! Angela at mealtime!
