It’s winter and we’re looking for delicious, heart warming and comforting meals but without too much work. These Oven Braised Drumsticks with veggies is the perfect dinner that’s both filling and super tasty. Chicken legs are slow cooked in the oven with lots of hearty vegetables until soft and tender. What can be better?
After all of the chicken has browned and you’ve transferred it to a platter, add the wine and mustard to the hot pot. This will get you going on the sauce.
Throw in two sprigs of fresh rosemary and a couple of whole garlic cloves that have been peeled.
Arrange the seared chicken legs on top of the vegetables, doing your best to snuggle them in there.
Place the pot in a preheated 450 degree F oven for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is crispy and cooked through. It should read about 165 with a thermometer!
Remove your oven braised drumsticks from the oven and transfer it to a nice platter for serving.
You can serve this chicken with a tossed green salad along with the veggies on the side. It’s the perfect winter meal that will warm you up. Enjoy!
