easy chicken with bacon

 

INGREDIENTS

• 6 chicken drumsticks / 4 chicken thighs (optional - remove skin from thighs to reduce fattiness)
• Salt
• Butter
• Garlic

METHOD

season the chicken with salt and set aside

Add some olive oil to the pan

Fry chicken drumsticks / chicken thigh on low to medium heat as they need to brown slowly and cook through

if frying chicken thighs with skin on then focus on getting most of the cooking with skin side down (may want to use a kitchen towel to dab away excessive oil)

if frying chicken drumsticks then turn the drumsticks every one or two mins to ensure evenly browned

cover with a lid to keep the heat in and cook more evenly through the chicken

whilst chicken are frying then chop up 2 rashers of bacon into small pieces and add around the chicken.  this will start to flavour the chicken

also add a clove of garlic chopped into a few chunks for a bit more flavour

could also consider a little bit of butter to add flavour and browning  

the chicken is done when nicely browned and cooked through.  this will take 20 to 30 mins of frying on low heat
