Braised Chicken Legs

Braised Chicken Legs

Overview

Braised chicken drumsticks are a popular home-cooked dish. The fried sugar-colored chicken legs are bright red in color and taste salty. It was very enjoyable to make it with the whole chicken leg. Since I was short on time, I chopped the chicken leg into small pieces and the taste was still great.
