Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 piece Medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 pieces Juice of half a lemon
Instructions
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel and season them evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the skillet and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium and sauté the onions for about 5 minutes until they become soft and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing it to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken drumsticks to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for 20 minutes on medium heat, turning the drumsticks halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the drumsticks and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve hot with your choice of sides such as rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
