 150 grams of cornstarch

 salt to taste

How to make Thigh Cream step by step:

Start by preparing the meat by removing the skins and cartilage from the chicken legs and leaving the bone. Then season the meat with salt and pepper and let it stay for at least 1 hour.

Tip: To get a good thigh finish, scrape the tip bone with a sharp knife.

To cook the thighs like they do at the Confeitaria Colombo restaurant, place the leeks, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves and peppercorns in a pan and add water. Bring to a boil, then add the thighs. Cook over low heat, without letting it boil, until tender - this will take about 40 minutes.

Tip: If necessary, add more water just as you bring your thighs together, as they need to be submerged.

When the meat is ready, remove it from the broth and let it cool. Then reserve the thighs in the fridge and strain the broth to filter out the seasonings and excess fat.

It's time to prepare the cream that gives the name to the remaining recipe for thigh cream! To do this, bring the broth back to the fire and add half the milk to it. In the remaining milk you dissolve wheat flour, cornstarch and egg yolks.

When the broth is boiling add the milk, flour and egg mixture through a sieve. Stir with a whisk until smooth and thick cream, like a white sauce, and add salt and pepper. Then turn off the heat and keep stirring a little longer to lower the temperature.

The next step is to dip each leg in the cream, holding the end of the bone. Wrap the meat well in the cream, until a pellicle forms all over it, and let it cool completely. Then bread, passing the legs in the wheat flour, then the egg whites and finally the breadcrumbs. Set aside in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Tip: Ideally, the bone does not get cream or breading ingredients.

Finally heat the oil (the ideal temperature is 160ºC) and fry the legs until golden. Remove to a plate with absorbent paper, to drain excess oil and make them dry, and they are ready!
