Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350℉/180°C.
- Get your prep done before you start cooking: Rub the drumsticks with dried onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside.
- Combine the ingredients for the peanut sauce, set aside.
- Mince the garlic, dice the onion and grate the ginger.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large oven-proof pan or skillet over medium. Add drumsticks and brown on all sides, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from skillet.
- To the same skillet. Add garlic, onion and ginger. Cook over low for 3 minutes or until soft and fragrant. Deglaze with 2 tablespoons water, stir with a wooden spoon to dissolve the browned bits on the bottom of your skillet.
- Pour in the prepared peanut sauce and bring to a simmer. Add spinach, stir until wilted. Sprinkle with lime juice. If needed, add a splash of water to thin out the sauce.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Transfer to the oven and bake until completely cooked through, about 30 minutes.
- In the meantime. Chop the peanuts and add to a dry skillet. Add sesame seeds, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and salt. Toast over medium, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- When ready, remove chicken from the oven and sprinkle with the crunchy peanut-sesame topping.
- Serve with rice and extra veggies. Enjoy!
