Chicken Drumsticks With Muhammara Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Position an oven rack on the lowest shelf and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the breadcrumbs, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Put the drumsticks in a large bowl and toss to coat with 1 tablespoon water. Place the drumsticks in the bag with the breadcrumbs and shake well to coat, pressing the breadcrumbs firmly into the meat. Arrange the drumsticks in a circle on a 9-inch pie dish with the tips facing out (they may rest on the rim of the dish). Bake until the breadcrumbs are dark golden and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (avoid touching bone), 30 to 35 minutes.
• Divide the sauce evenly over the drumsticks. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top and lay 1 slice of mozzarella on top of each drumstick. Return the drumsticks to the oven and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 475°F. While oven is preheating, toast nuts on a baking sheet in oven until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pat chicken dry, then put in a large shallow heavy baking pan (1 inch deep) without crowding and rub with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil. Bake, without turning, until golden brown and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
• While chicken bakes, blend together bell peppers, bread crumbs, walnuts, garlic paste, pomegranate molasses, cumin, and cayenne in a food processor until as smooth as possible, about 1 minute. With motor running, gradually add remaining 6 tablespoons oil and blend until combined well. Season sauce with salt and drizzle over baked chicken.

Steps:

• Slash each drumstick in 3 places with a sharp knife.
• In a bowl combine all the ingredients and work the marinade into the drumstick meat.
• Lay the drumsticks out in a single layer in a shallow pan or on a baking tray, leaving a little space between each if possible and pour over any excess marinade.
• Bake at 180C for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling (time will depend on size of drumsticks).
• Serve with coleslaw.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200c.
• Rub the chicken with some olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then place in baking tray with enough room so there is gaps around them, then put in the oven.
• Bake for 15 minutes, scatter the garlic cloves (reserve one and dice it while cooking the chicken) around the chicken, return to the oven and bake for another 30-35 minutes until the chicken is tender.
• When done, remove the chicken to a plate and cover with foil, then a teatowel.
• Drain the juice from the oven tray and reserve it.
• Heat up a frying pan and fry the reserved, chopped, clove of garlic in some oil (about a tbsp), then add the mushroom, and the reserved juices and saute until tender.
• Serve the chicken drumsticks on a bed of rocket (one handful per person), with the mushrooms on the side, a lemon wedge, and scatter the roasted garlic around it.
• Lovely with a glass of white wine!
