From Coup de Pouce. Ingredients:
8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 lb/1 kg in total) |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 onions, chopped |
1 shallot, finely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 cup dry white wine or 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth |
1 3/4 cups low sodium chicken broth |
1 bay leaf |
fresh mint leaves (obtional) |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle salt on the chicken drumsticks. In a large skillet, heat butter and oil at medium-high heat until butter has melted. Add chicken and cook for 10 minutes (flip often). With a pair of tongs, remove the chicken from the skillet and put it in a plate.
2. In the skillet, add onions, shallots and garlic. Cook, scraping the bottom of skillet to remove the bits, for 5 minutes or until onions are tender.
3. Put back the chicken in the skillet and sprinkle with thyme and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add white wine, chicken stock and bay leaf. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and let simmer for 45 minutes or until chicken is tender (drizzle with cooking liquid from time to time). Put the chicken in a serving dish, cover and keep warm. Let reduce the cooking liquid, uncovered, for about 10 minutes or until it has the consistancy of a gravy. Add salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf.
4. When ready to serve, garnish each serving with the onion gravy and sprinkle with mint, if wanted.
