Ingredients
- 4 chicken drumstick
- ½ cup olive oil
- 4 garlic crushed, cloves
- 1 teaspoon harissa powder adjust according to your preference for spiciness
- 1 teaspoon italian herbs a blend of dried basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram
- 1 teaspoon sea salt Celtic variety
- ½ teaspoon black pepper preferably freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the harissa powder, Italian herbs, Celtic sea salt, and pepper.
- Rub the chicken drumsticks with the spice mixture, ensuring they are well coated on all sides. Let them marinate for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
- In a large ovenproof pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic cloves and cook for a minute or until fragrant.
- Gently place the seasoned chicken drumsticks in the pot, making sure they are fully submerged in the olive oil. If needed, add a bit more olive oil to ensure they are covered.
- Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and cook for approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the chicken drumsticks are tender and the meat easily falls off the bone.
- Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven and let the chicken drumsticks cool slightly in the oil.
- If desired, you can crisp up the skin by transferring the drumsticks to a baking sheet and broiling them for a few minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
- Serve the chicken leg confit hot, either on its own or with your choice of side dishes like roasted potatoes, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
