Chicken drumsticks with warm spice – mandarin orange sauce

Ingredients

• 6 chicken legs (drumsticks)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 shallots
• 1 to 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg (freshly grated)

• juice from 1-2 mandarin oranges
• parsley garnish

Instructions

Cut the shallots into small sections, and slice the garlic cloves in half. Place them in a skillet or frying pan together with the oil and butter and sautee for a minute or so at medium temperature.

Add the chicken to the pan as well as the spices, and continue to sautee until the meat takes on a golden color.

Next, pour the water into the pan and add the salt. Once the water has heated, allow the chicken to simmer on medium-low temperature until it is very tender (probably at least 30 minutes).

Serve the chicken with a splash of fresh mandarin orange juice and a parsley garnish.
