Equipment

Ingredients

1 kg Chicken drumsticks
3 cups Rice Golden sella basmato or easy cook long grain rice
6 tablespoon Butter
1.5 tablespoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Parsley
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon Black pepper
½ teaspoon Garlic granules
½ teaspoon Dried thyme
1 Bouillion cube/ Stock cube crushed
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons Oil Vegetable, Sunflower or Olive oil
6 cups Chicken broth
Parsley For garnish

Instructions

Mix the paprika, garlic granules, black pepper, parsley, Italian seasoning, thyme, bouillon cube, and salt.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with kitchen towels, add half of the seasoning mix to the chicken drumsticks, and mix till all the drumsticks are evenly coated in the seasoning.
Wash the rice with warm water till the water runs clear. This takes about 3-4 washes. Drain, and set aside.
Place a pan on low medium heat. Add oil to the pan then add the seasoned drumsticks. Brown each side for 2-3 minutes. The skin will be golden brown and crispy. Transfer the drumsticks to a plate.
Add the chopped onions to the frying pan then add butter. When the butter is melted, add the remaining half of the seasoning.
Add the washed rice to the pot and stir with the butter and seasoning.
Add chicken broth (or water and chicken stock pot), and salt, stir then arrange the chicken drumsticks on the rice, cover the pot, and let it cook on low heat for 25 minutes or till the water dries up.
Transfer the chicken to a plate. Stir the rice till all is well combined then arrange the chicken back on the rice. Garnish with parsley.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

You can substitute chicken drumsticks for chicken thighs or chicken leg quarters if you prefer.

Adjust the pepper quantity to your tolerance level.

Add vegetables like peas and carrots if you desire. If adding, do this 5 minutes before taking the rice off the heat.

It's best served warm.
