Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 8 cups water
Instructions
Rinse the chicken drumsticks under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large pot, add the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
While the water is heating, season the drumsticks with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika evenly on all sides.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the seasoned drumsticks to the pot, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the drumsticks simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until fully cooked and tender. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the cooked drumsticks from the pot and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Before serving, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the drumsticks for garnish.
Serve warm, and optionally, pair with a Paleo-friendly side such as steamed vegetables.
