Instructions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Toss the chicken drumsticks with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon paprika, chili flakes, salt and pepper. Be sure to evenly coat.
Heat a large oven-proof skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned drumsticks for 5 minutes, turning to brown each side. Remove chicken and set aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in the same skillet and add onions and peppers. Cook for 5 minutes to soften.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Add the chicken back to the pan.
Pour the wine into the pan. Sprinkle with remaining paprika, along with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer to the oven and roast, uncovered, turning the chicken a few times throughout, for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through and nicely glazed.
Remove from heat, garnish and serve.

Notes

The internal temperature of the chicken should measure 165 degrees F when measured with a meat thermometer.
