    • All you dark meat lovers take note: these are now sold separately in supermarkets and are very inexpensive. So how to cook them? Here they get the same oven-roasting as the whole bird so expect crisp beautifully browned skin. The vegetables create a bed for the drumsticks and with the addition of wine and water make a lovely gravy that will be ready when the meat is.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle position.

    Pat drumsticks dry and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

    Heat oil in an oven-proof 12-inch skillet or shallow pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Brown drumsticks on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a plate.

    Add onions, carrots, celery and butter to skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.

    Add 1 cup wine and bouquet garni and bring to a simmer. Make a bed with the vegetables and put the drumsticks on top.

    Transfer skillet to oven and roast drumsticks, uncovered, 30 minutes. Turn drumsticks over and add 1/2 cup water to skillet. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue to roast drumsticks 1 1/4 hours more, turning drumsticks and adding ½ cup water to skillet twice (after each half hour).

    Transfer drumsticks to a cutting board or platter. Strain pan juices through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on and discarding solids. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Slice meat from drumsticks and serve with sauce.
