Spiced Chicken Masala Drumsticks with Turmeric Rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the chicken drumsticks with chicken masala, paprika powder, minced garlic, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the drumsticks evenly with the spices.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

4. 4

   Add the marinated chicken drumsticks to the skillet and sear on all sides for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown.

5. 5

   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the drumsticks for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.

6. 6

   While the chicken is roasting, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

7. 7

   In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed rice, turmeric powder, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

8. 8

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork.

9. 9

   Serve the spiced chicken masala drumsticks hot with the turmeric rice on the side. Enjoy your meal!
