One-Pan Chicken Drumsticks with Rice and Beans recipe | Epicurious.com

Preparation Season drumsticks on all sides with 2 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. black pepper. Heat oil in a large deep-sided skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook, turning once halfway through, until skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Add onion, cinnamon, and turmeric to fat in skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice and stir to coat. Add 1 1/4 cups hot water, scraping up browned bits from pan, then stir in chickpeas, dried fruit (if using), red pepper (if using), and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Nestle chicken back into skillet and bring liquid to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, 20–25 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork, then scatter herbs over.
