Roasted Chicken Drumsticks (Lugo Digaag La-foorneeyay) Cuisses de Poulet Rôties دجاج محمر بالفرن

 

When we roasted these chicken drumsticks, we took them to a gathering at a friend’s house. One of her guests tried them and she said to us, “I have never had chicken this good in my WHOLE LIFE! I am a chef and I know what I am talking about.” Wow! What an amazing compliment. The lowly chicken drumstick can elicit such praise.

This dish is inexpensive, quick, and very easy. The chicken is tender, moist, succulent, and flavourful. It has just the right amount of spices that does not overwhelm the dish. The chicken and potatoes are great served with a simple salad with a dressing made of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a little salt. It can also be served with rice, such as the Aromatic Rice or the Cumin Rice.

We have noticed that, nowadays, most Somali restaurants like to bread the chicken legs and deep fry them. While fried chicken can be quite tasty, this is another great option to offer. 

 

Lorsque nous avons cuisiné ces pilons de poulet, nous les avons amené à une fête organisée par une de nos amies. Une de ses amies les goûta et nous dit: “C’est le meilleur poulet que j’ai mangé DE TOUTE MA VIE! Je suis un chef et je sais de quoi je parle”. Ouah! Quel compliment. L’humble pilon de poulet peut provoquer de tels compliments.

Ce plat est économique, rapide, et très facile. Le poulet est tendre, juteux, succulent et goûteux. Il a juste ce qu’il faut d’épices qui ne submergent pas le plat. Le poulet et les pommes de terre s’accommodent très bien avec une salade toute simple avec une vinaigrette composée d’huile d’olive vierge extra, de vinaigre balsamique et un peu de sel. Il peut aussi s’accompagner de riz, comme le Riz Aromatique ou le Riz au Cumin.

Nous avons remarqué qu’aujourd’hui la plupart des restaurants Somalis servent les cuisses de poulet panées et frites. Bien que le poulet frit soit vraiment très bon, c’est une autre bonne option pour le servir.

      We are happy to know you like the blog. You can roast any parts of the chicken but make sure they are the same size. Since the drumsticks are all the same size they cook evenly. Thank you.

    Made this last night and it was so simple and lovely. This website has been my most frequented cooking resource as a newlywed (it’s really helped) and what I like is that you use ingredients that I/people tend to have at home anyway or are readily available, mashaAllah. May Allah reward you, ameen.
    I wanted to suggest something please walaalayaal inshaAllah, in case it may be of benefit. In cookbooks or online resources, the ingredients that are needed in a recipe are listed in order of use. So, for example, for this recipe, the first thing listed would be the potatoes, and then the rosemary etc, etc. I find this to be useful in recipes where there are many ingredients such as the yoghurt coconut chicken curry as then you know what you’ll be needing first if you haven’t got all your ingredients out. Thought it may help, but perhaps you have it like this because you prefer it, Allahu A’lam. Either way, thank you for the simple, tasty recipes :-)

      Done. We have re-arranged the ingredients in the Yogurt Coconut Chicken to follow the order of use. We usually do that on some of our other recipes but we tried to group the spices together since the list was quite long. God willing, in all future recipes we will follow the order of use for the ingredients. Thank you very much for your useful feedback and your nice comment. Ramadan Karim!

    Asalaamu alaikum. I really enjoy your recipes, keep up the good work!

    Would this recipe work with frozen drumsticks? Would I have to defrost them first? What would you do?

    Thanks
