Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 8 chicken legs
  • 2 tsp garlic, pressed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper, ground
  • 2 tsp cumin, ground
  • 2 tsp coriander, ground
  • ½ tsp fennel seeds, ground
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 2 onions, cut into thin slices
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 250 ml water
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Wash the chicken drumsticks and pat dry. Combine the garlic with salt, the ground spices, and 2 tablespoons of oil, and rub it vigorously into the chicken. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Then heat the remaining oil in a pan. Sauté the onions until golden brown, add the chicken drumsticks, and brown well over medium heat. Mix the coconut milk with the water and lemon juice, pour over the meat, and simmer, covered, for about 40 minutes, until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened considerably. We serve this with Thai fragrant rice, but it also tastes good with noodles.
