Ingredients




6 chicken drumsticks
15 cloves of garlic, with skins on
1 glass of ruby port
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1 Heat some olive oil in a pan. Add the garlic cloves and cook on low until lightly caramelised. 2 Season the chicken with salt and pepper, add to the pan and fry until browned on both sides. 3 Pour the port over the chicken and set it aflame. Once the flame dies down, cover, lower the heat and continue cooking. 4 When done halfway through, remove the lid and turn up the heat. Cook until the port has reduced to a syrupy sauce and the chicken is completely cooked through.

About


This recipe is a riff on The Urban Peasant James Barber's chicken with garlic and sherry. The garlic turns sweet and earthy and makes a great spread on crusty bread.
