Fried chicken is a family favourite but can often be a messy and time-consuming process. These baked drumsticks simplify the method without sacrificing flavour. Our spiced chicken flour makes for a crispy, tasty coating, and the creamy mash is packed with hidden carrots. Crunchy slaw and rich gravy finish the dish.

Ingredients

Gravy

  • 100g gravy

Slaw

  • 2 tsp vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp garlic aioli
  • 150g slaw
  • 1 capsicum, thinly sliced

Mash

  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 carrot, diced 2cm
  • 400g potatoes, peeled & diced

Chicken

  • 550g free range chicken drumsticks
  • 1 drizzle of oil
  • 1 pack chicken flour

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake).
  2. Pat chicken dry and toss in a medium bowl with chicken flour, until well coated. Place on a lined oven tray in a single layer and brush with oil. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn and cook for about 15 minutes further, until chicken is cooked through and golden.
  3. Peel and dice potatoes and dice carrot. Add to a medium pot with a pinch of salt. Cover with hot tap water and cook, covered, on high heat for about 20 minutes, until tender (see tip). Drain and return to pot with milk and butter. Mash until smooth and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside covered to keep warm.
  4. Slice capsicum. Add to medium bowl with remaining slaw ingredients, toss to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Add gravy to small pot. Heat gently on low heat for 2-3 minutes, until hot through.
  6. Chicken with mash, slaw and gravy.
