Steps
- In a big bowl, combine Cajun seasoning with yogurt. Add drumsticks and massage the chicken with the yogurt mixture. Set aside.
- In the meantime, deseed and chop the bell pepper, finely chop the red onion and mince the garlic.
- Heat oil and butter in a large ovenproof skillet or pot over medium. Add drumsticks and cook 5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from skillet onto a clean plate.
- Add onion, garlic and pepper, cook for 3 minutes. Add salt, pepper, paprika, oregano and chili flakes. Stir in tomato paste, then add rice and stir until incorporated.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to the lowest, cover and simmer for 8 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed by the rice. Add more broth if needed.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Nestle chicken drumsticks into the rice, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid, transfer the skillet to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Enjoy!
