Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 12 servings

Ingredients

24 chicken drumsticks
1 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup soy sauce
5 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless French bread
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup dry white wine or chicken broth

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Divide drumsticks between 2 large resealable plastic bags. Whisk onion, oil, garlic and soy sauce in medium bowl to blend. Divide onion mixture between bags with drumsticks. Seal bags; turn to coat with marinade. Refrigerate overnight.

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil. Brush foil generously with vegetable oil.

    Step 3

    Remove drumsticks from marinade; scrape off any onion or garlic. Place drumsticks in large bowl. Place breadcrumbs in another large bowl. Whisk mustard and wine in small bowl. Drizzle over drumsticks; toss well to coat. Sprinkle drumsticks with salt and pepper. Turn each drumstick in breadcrumbs, coating lightly but evenly. Place on prepared baking sheets.

    Step 4

    Bake drumsticks 45 minutes. Increase heat to 400°F and bake drumsticks until evenly browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes longer.

Miso-Peanut Hibachi Chicken
The magic of this hibachi chicken recipe comes from a combination of miso and peanut butter and how it beautifully caramelizes when it hits the grill.
Crispy Baked Wings With Berbere Honey Glaze and Fried Garlic
Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.

Attention, martini drinkers and spritz drinkers: Please for a single line.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Spicy Carrot Rigatoni
Hailee Catalano transforms humble carrots into a beautifully creamy pasta sauce.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Crispy Oyster Mushroom Skewers With Bok Choy Salad
Oyster mushrooms are a strong all-rounder in the kitchen, seeming to straddle both plant and meat worlds in what they look and taste like when cooked. Here they’re coated in a marinade my mother used to use when cooking Chinese food at home—honey, soy, garlic and ginger—and roasted until golden, crisp, and juicy.
Fufu
Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.
