Chicken legs in dough - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, chicken thighs work well as a substitute. Adjust cooking time slightly as thighs may cook faster or slower depending on size.
Phyllo dough or crescent roll dough are good alternatives. For a low-carb option, try wrapping the chicken in thinly sliced zucchini or eggplant.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for best results.
For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with roasted cauliflower or portobello mushrooms, and use vegetarian puff pastry.
Add chili flakes, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce to the marinade for extra heat.
Yes, assemble the dish, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding 10-15 minutes to cooking time.
Fresh parsley, dill, or chives complement the flavors well. Add a sprinkle of green onions for extra freshness.
Pat the chicken dry before marinating and avoid overloading with wet ingredients. Pre-baking the pastry for 5 minutes can also help.
Try tzatziki, garlic aioli, or a spicy mayo for variation. Each adds a unique twist to the dish.
