Spiced Tomato Peanut Chicken

This saucy dish is great to start off a busy week—just load the slow cooker and get on with your day. The drumsticks can stand up to a bit more cooking time than other cuts of chicken, so you don’t need to rush home too soon.

Crispy Drumsticks with Fresh Corn Salad

Substitute frozen and thawed corn for the raw kernels when corn is not in season. Look for the freekeh, a form of cracked wheat, in the bulk grain bins at a co-op grocery or in the specialty whole-grain section of a good market.

Maple Mustard Drumsticks

Roast these sweet-savory chicken legs in a hot oven or add a smoky edge on the grill. If you grill, wait to glaze the chicken until the last 10 minutes of grilling so the glaze won’t burn. Serve with roasted or grilled new potatoes, tossed with garlic-infused olive oil.

Balsamic Marinated Drumsticks

Marinating chicken drumsticks or thighs in a balsamic vinegar-olive oil dressing spiked with rosemary and oregano is quick and delicious—and can be started the night before or earlier in the day.

South African Braai Drumsticks

In South Africa the word “braai” means cooking over an open fire. The culture of grilling is as ingrained there as it is in the U.S., with backyard cooks passionate about the seasonings they use. This marinade reflects the Cape Malay influences, highly flavored with spices. Serve with a lightly dressed salad of curly endive or radicchio lettuce.

Coffee-Rubbed Drumsticks with Creamy Fennel Slaw

Using a spoonful of deeply roasted coffee as part of a seasoning rub is more common with steaks or red meat, but the flavor of coffee teamed up with southwestern herbs and spices blend magically with the dark drumstick meat.

Osso Buco-Style Chicken Legs

Meaty chicken legs, rather than veal shanks, are braised in a tomato sauce, then sprinkled with gremolata—a zesty blend of chopped herbs, fresh garlic, and lemon zest. Creamy polenta is an ideal accompaniment to this favorite Italian fall one-dish supper that’s lovely for an intimate dinner party.

Dukkah-Crusted Roasted Drumsticks

Dukkah is an Egyptian seasoning—varying blends of crushed toasted nuts, seeds, and spices. It’s served as a snack on the street with strips of pita bread, that are dipped into olive oil, then the dukkah. In this recipe, the roasting process toasts the seasoning.
