Notes

  • You could reduce the number of chicken drumsticks to 1kg but keep the rest the same
  • Be sure to use cooking cream if possible as it doesn't split when heated for long periods
  • I served mine on a creamy mash and our recipe for Sweet Chilli Butter Broccoli as a side veg
  • Low Carb friendly
  • Cooked in my 7L Breville Searing slow cooker (reviewed on our SC review page)
