Method

  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.

This recipe is from Paul and Jeanne Rankin's 'New Irish Cookery'

    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.

    I really liked eating it cold. Lemon and garlic was a very good idea. But next time I'll use less butter.

    I decided to cook it in the oven instead and it didn't turn out too well. Whereas the whole kitchen smelled of roasted garlic and I used a whole lemon, none of the flavours penetrated the meat. Roasted chicken is always awesome, though.
