1. Heat a large, heavy-based lidded casserole or frying pan over a moderate heat. Add the oil and half the butter. Generously season the drumsticks with salt and pepper. When the butter is foaming, drop in the drumsticks, and fry until lightly browned all over.
2. Cover the casserole with a lid and leave the drumsticks to fry gently for 20-25 minutes, turning regularly. Remove the lid and add the remaining butter, along with the garlic, parsley and lemon juice. Take the casserole off the heat and leave the flavours to infuse for a few minutes before serving.

'The subtle way the lemon, garlic and parsley blended together was great. By the next day, the flavours had developed even more on our leftover chicken.'

  I would suggest adding the parsley etc. at the very last minute - mine turned to charcoal and couldn't be tasted thereafter.

  Far too greasy for us - gorgeous taste of lemon and garlic but too much butter I think. Prob wouldn't make again.

  I make this all the time and everyone asks how to make it. Absolutely delicious, hot or cold, and very easy. This has become a mainstay recipe for me (and I am a very keen cook). I would give it more than five stars if that were possible.
