We'll start cooking step by step. First fry these wonderful shins - fresh, not frozen - on a well-heated frying pan in vegetable oil. Put the chicken legs parallel to each other so that they do not come in contact with each other - this will turn out to be a ruddy crust. We turn it evenly from all sides. Let him take it well and evaporate excess liquid. We need a fried, not a stewed bird. And yet: just do not have to salt - salted in sauce. By the way, if the chicken is bazaar, home, then, it happens, it is too tough. Then the cooking time (basically the subsequent quenching it in sauce) should be increased by another 10-15 minutes. Thus, gentle softness is achieved. If the chicken (or shin) is broiler, then the cooking time will not be required.

It's all about the sauce!

• Separately in another pan fry onions in oil. Thus, in the second tank we prepare sauce - this is its basis. The onion should be finely-finely chopped, it is necessary to throw it on a frying pan and to watch, that it has not burnt, reaching ruddy color. The sauce, by the way, should give us such a homogeneous consistency. And for this dish you will need a cup of broth chicken - again for the sauce.

• When the onion is browned, we introduce a few spoons (by eye) of wheat flour. It will give a certain density. Fill everything with chicken broth. The whole mass should be put out on low heat for a while. If necessary, add broth so that the consistency is not too thick.
• It's time for sour cream. Gradually introduce it into the total mass and mix, so that there are no lumps. When a little more is extinguished, we add salt, pepper, paprika - all to taste.
