Ingredients
  • 2 T. butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 T. green olives, chopped, plus extra for serving
  • 4 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 c. chicken stock
  • 1 c. white wine
  • 1 T. smoked paprika
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan with a lid. Saute the garlic until fragrant, then add the chopped olives and drumsticks. Cook until the chicken skin is browned, about 3 minutes, then turn to brown the other side.
  2. Add the stock, wine, and paprika, cover, and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes. Check the chicken to make sure it has reached at least 160 degrees. Uncover the pan, increase heat to high, and reduce the sauce to about ½ of its total volume. It will still be relatively thin but will coat the chicken nicely. Add the extra olives to warm. Serve, spooning sauce over each portion.
