Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
In a large bowl, combine the chicken drumsticks with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, orange zest, and half of the orange juice. Mix well to coat the drumsticks evenly.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Sear the drumsticks for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Remove the drumsticks and set aside. In the same pan, add the basmati rice and toast for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the rice and stir for another minute.
Pour in the remaining orange juice and 400ml of water. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Nestle the seared drumsticks on top of the rice mixture.
Cover the pan with a lid or foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the cover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Fluff the rice and serve the drumsticks on top, garnished with extra orange zest if desired.
