Cook Time 20 minutes
Serves 6

Ingredients
 

  • 2kg CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS
  • 1 WHITE ONION, diced
  • 4 cloves GARLIC, diced
  • 1 600ml PASSATA, OR 3 CANS OF TIN TOMATO
  • 1 CUP RED WINE
  • 2 CUPS POLENTA
  • 100G BUTTER
  • 2 TBSP OREGANO
  • 1 CUP CHICKEN STOCK
  • 1 CUP PARMESEAN
  • To Serve: Roasted Potatoes. Large Green Salad. Fresh Basil for the Chicken

Instructions
 

  • Let's get cooking! In a large frypan (I am using my Paella pan in this photo, start to cook the onion and garlic with a tablespoon of olive oil on a medium heat.
  • Then add the chicken drumsticks and start to brown the skin. If the garlic is burning, just add 1 tablespoon of water to create some steam
  • Once the chicken the brown, add the passata, red wine, oregano, stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring to boil, then simmer. Cover with foil or the lid on a gently moderate heat until cooked. Then remove and finihs with fresh basil
  • Whilst the chicken is bubbling away, lets cook the Polenta. Now remember this, the ratio is 1 cup of Polenta equals 4 cups of water. You will need double this. Once the water is simmering, slowly pour in your polenta and start the stir immediately. It will come together, then leave the polenta to simmer softly, Otherwise it will bubble and spit at you! It will be cooked around 5 mins. Now, here is the secret - you need to add salt, butter and parmesean to flavour.
  • To serve - roast potatoes, a lovely green salad and place all of the deliciousness on the table for everyone to help themselves!
