Leek and Mustard Chicken
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 package Chicken Drumsticks (6-count)
- 1 whole Leek
- 1 can (14 Oz. Size) Chicken Stock
- 1 Tablespoon English Mustard (but French Will Also Work!)
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- Salt To Taste
- Preheat your oven to 350 F.
- Heat up the oil in a large skillet over a medium heat, and fry the drumsticks until they are crispy and brown on one side.
- Then turn them and do the other side.
- Dont cook them until theyre all the way done!
- They will finish cooking in the oven.
- When both sides are delicious looking, transfer them to an oven-safe dish and pop them in the oven.
- Youll want to reserve the goodies in the pan you fried the chicken in so dont wash it!
- While the chicken roasts, slice and clean the leek.
- Make sure you get all the sandy grit out because the leeks I buy always seem to have lots of grit.
- Youll want the slices to be fairly thin.
- Then add the butter to your skillet and fry the leeks in the same pan as the chicken.
- Once theyve sweated a bit, add the chicken stock and deglaze the pan, making sure you scrape up the brown bits from the chicken.
- Let it reduce a bit, and then add the mustard.
- English mustard packs a bit of a kick, so be careful!
- Once the sauce has thickened to the consistency of choice, take it off the heat and finish it off with a pat of butter.
- Once the chicken is finished roasting anywhere from 15-25 minutes depending on the size of your drumsticks, give it a good five minutes to rest.
- Then serve with rice, with the leek sauce on top.
- Feeds three people, or me for three days.
