Orange Chicken Drumsticks and Pea Puree Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 chicken drumsticks
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/2 cup onion juice
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 4 tbsp butter
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. The night before… Grate 4 large onions, put them in a fine-meshed sieve and by pressing with the back of a wooden spoon, extract juices into a bowl underneath (yields approximately 1/2 cup of juice). Mix brown sugar with onion juice and orange juice until dissolved. Place the drumsticks in the mixture, cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. The next day, put 2 tbsp of butter and drumsticks in a pan. Season the drumsticks to taste and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Transfer them to an oven-proof dish, cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
3. Discard the butter in the pan and deglaze the remains with the soaking mixture. Cook until the mixture reduces down to a thick sticky paste. Take off heat and add 2 tbsp of butter and mix. Pour over the drumsticks and serve with pea puree.
