- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wash drumsticks with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Dust with flour and shake off the excess.
- Heat oil in an oven-safe deeper skillet or a pan and brown drumsticks until all sides are lightly golden.
- Take out, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and some black pepper and set aside.
- Add onions to the skillet and saute for a few minutes until they are translucent.
- Pour in wine and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of pan and stir them back into the saute.
- Let simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Add garlic, carrots, celery, olives, and tomatoes including any tomato juice.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Combine well and return chicken pieces to the pan.
- You can leave them on the top of the sauce for a prettier plate or you can submerge them in the sauce.
- Rinse dry bay leaves with cold water and add to the pan together with fresh rosemary.
- Cover the pan with a lid or double-layered aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes or until the meat starts coming off the bone.
- Take out of the oven and sprinkle with fresh Italian parsley.
- Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or my toddlers favorite, rice.
