Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1.2 kg chicken drumsticks (skin on, 8 drumsticks)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (sliced into 1cm half-rounds)
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Note : Cumquats are best left whole, but have been listed as halved for the system to accept it.

  • Step 2: Rinse and pat dry the chicken drumsticks. Season them with salt and pepper.

  • Step 3: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium temperature. Add the chicken to the saucepan and cook, turning occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until skin is evenly browned. Remove chicken and transfer the chicken to a plate.

  • Step 4: Add the onion and garlic to the saucepan and saute over medium heat until transparent. Add the wine and bay leaves and reduce over high heat until syrupy.

  • Step 5: Return the chicken to the saucepan, add enough chicken stock to cover two-thirds of the chicken.

  • Step 6: Tuck the cumquats and olives into the stock, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 40 minutes.

  • Step 7: Test for seasoning and adjust if needed.

  • Step 8: Serve over couscous or rice.
