And the "common pan" gives one more advantage - the cabbage is saturated with the aroma of fried chicken, and the poultry becomes especially soft, juicy and tender, which simply melts in your mouth.
White cabbage is most often used for the recipe, but the blue variety is also suitable. But then it should be borne in mind that blue cabbage is stewed longer. The dish can be prepared according to the recipe, or you can improvise with additional ingredients. For example, during cooking add tomatoes, tomato paste, potatoes, sausage, etc. And chicken legs can always be replaced with other parts of the poultry.

Step by step cooking chicken drumsticks with stewed cabbage, recipe with photo:
1. Wash chicken drumsticks with running water and dry well. Otherwise, when water comes into contact with hot oil, there will be a lot of splashes that will stain the stove and work surface. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat. Put your feet down and turn on medium heat.
2. Fry the drumsticks on all sides until golden. Adjust the cooking level yourself. If you want a more dietary dish, then fry the drumsticks until lightly golden brown. If extra calories are not scary and you like heavily fried legs, then cook until crispy.
3. In another skillet, heat the oil and add the chopped peeled garlic. Fry it and discard it. It is necessary that he only aromatize the oil. By this time, wash and dry the cabbage. Chop it into thin strips and send to the pan.
4. Fry the cabbage until golden brown. Add oil or water as needed. In the first case, the dish will be more satisfying, in the second, it will be low-calorie. After 20 minutes of frying, add chicken drumsticks to the cabbage, add water, season with salt, ground pepper and any spices. Stir and simmer under a closed lid over low heat for half an hour. Serve the finished dish warm to the table. If you eat the drumsticks, but the cabbage remains, then you can make an omelet with it, use it as a filling for dumplings, pies or pancakes.
