  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment

  • Pot for cooking rice
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they turn a light golden color.
  2. Add the chicken drumsticks to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  3. Sprinkle the curry powder over the chicken and stir well to coat the drumsticks evenly.
  4. Pour the coconut milk into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. While the chicken is simmering, cook the basmati rice according to package instructions.
  6. Once the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat. Serve the Coconut Chicken Drumsticks over a bed of steamed rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

To enhance the flavor, add a pinch of sugar to the coconut milk for balance. Marinating the chicken in yogurt and spices for a few hours can add extra flavor and tenderness. Adjust curry powder to taste for a milder dish. Consider adding a splash of heavy cream or butter for a creamier sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat with a splash of water if sauce thickens.
