14 steps

1. Rinse the chicken drumsticks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. Finely grate fresh ginger to measure 2 tablespoons, and mince the garlic cloves.

3. Season the drumsticks with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.

4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

5. Add the chicken drumsticks to the skillet and sear them for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown all over.

7. Reduce the heat to medium and in the same skillet, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

8. Stir in the soy sauce, dry white wine, chicken stock, and brown sugar. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

9. Return the chicken drumsticks to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.

10. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the drumsticks simmer for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
