1
carrot
1 stalk
celery
1
leek
2 packet
chicken drumsticks
1 sachet
Chicken-Style Stock Powder
2
potatoes
1 bag
parsley
1 sachet
Aussie Spice Blend
1 packet

1.33 cup

• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Roughly chop carrot and celery. Thinly slice leek. • In a large bowl, combine chicken drumsticks, the plain flour and a pinch of pepper.
• Heat a large ovenproof pot with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in batches, until golden, 3-4 minutes each side. • Add carrot, celery, leek, Aussie spice blend, chicken style-stock powder, the boiling water (11/3 cups for 2 people / 31/2 cups for 4 people) and a pinch of pepper. Stir to combine. • Cover pot with a lid or tightly with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. • Remove foil, then bake, uncovered, for a further 20-25 minutes.
TIP: The chicken will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
• When the chicken has 20 minutes remaining, peel potato and cut into large chunks. Half-fill a medium saucepan with hot water from the kettle, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Bring to the boil, then add potato and cook, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return potato to the pan. • Add the butter and milk to potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
• Divide potato mash between bowls. • Top with braised chicken drumsticks and spoon over any remaining sauce. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese and tear over parsley leaves to serve. Enjoy!
