Our Slow Cook recipes are perfect for those cold nights - switch on your oven and get ready to cook low and slow to pack maximum flavour. This is a tough choice to make; veggies and mash or veggies in a stew? What about the chicken drumsticks, we can’t leave those out. We say you don’t have to choose, let’s have it all! Slow cooking the chicken in the stew allows for all those flavours to be absorbed. A soft and silky potato mash does wonders to mop up all the yummy morsels, leaving your bowl sparkling clean. The recent wet and cold weather across New Zealand has impacted our regular supply of fresh ingredients and as such, what you receive may be slightly different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. Thinly slice onion. Finely chop garlic. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken drumsticks, herb & mushroom seasoning, a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
• In a large ovenproof pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook chicken drumsticks, turning, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Return the pot to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and onion until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add garlic and the plain flour and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir through red wine jus, chicken-style stock powder and the water. Season and bring to the boil. • Place chicken drumsticks on top of stew. Cover pot with a lid or tightly with foil, then bake for 25-30 minutes.
TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pot, transfer mixture to a baking dish instead!
• Remove stew from oven, turn drumsticks, then bake, uncovered, for a further 45 minutes. • When the stew is done, remove from oven and stir through baby spinach leaves. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a splash more water if the stew mixture looks too thick.
• When the stew has 20 minutes cook time remaining, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. Cut broccoli (see ingredients) into small florets. Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. • In last 8 minutes of cook time, place a colander or steamer basket on top, then add broccoli. Cover and steam until the broccoli is tender, 6-7 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a bowl. Season, then set aside. • Drain potatoes and return to saucepan. Add the butter, milk and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
• Divide mash and herby chicken drumsticks with veggie stew between bowls. • Serve with steamed baby broccoli. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Customers loved the rich, comforting taste, perfect for cold winter nights. Some found it a bit plain; adding thyme and red wine vinegar boosted flavour.
- Ease of prep: While some noted it took time to prepare, many found it extremely easy to cook. The slow-cooking method resulted in tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken.
- Suggestions: Consider cooking covered for the entire time to keep chicken moist. For a heartier meal, include more vegetables or increase the chicken portion.
- Portions: Several reviewers mentioned receiving only 3 drumsticks for 2 people, suggesting 4 medium-sized drumsticks would be more appropriate for sharing.
