Ingredients
- 7 Chicken drumsticks
- 2 sheets Puff pastry
- 3 tbsp Tomato sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Sweet paprika
- 1 tsp Dried garlic
- 1 tsp Dried onion
- 1/2 cup Grated cheese any variety
- 1 Egg beaten, for brushing
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds for sprinkling
Instructions
Step 1: Fry the Chicken and Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Start by frying the chicken drumsticks in a pan until they’re golden brown and cooked through. While the chicken is cooking, roll out your puff pastry and cut it into two rounds, one for the bottom and one for the top.
Step 2: Assemble the Dish
- Place the first puff pastry round on a baking tray. Arrange the fried chicken drumsticks in a star pattern, with the thick end in the center and the bones pointing outward. Sprinkle grated cheese in the center of the drumsticks. Then, place the second puff pastry round on top. Press the edges of the pastry well to seal them around the chicken.
Step 3: Brush, Sprinkle & Bake
- Once the edges of the pastry are sealed, brush the top layer with a beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top for added crunch and flavor.
- Place the assembled pastry in a preheated oven at 190-200°C (375-400°F). Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through.
Ready to Serve
