  2. After 5 minutes, add 1 cup of water to the chicken. Cover your pan and let the drumsticks cook for 30 minutes. Stir from time to time.

  3. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the sauce. Keep the sauce as we are going to present it with the chicken at the end.

  5. Beat the egg. Dip the chicken drumsticks in the egg, then coat them with bread crumbs.

    Beautiful chicken - cold or hot - intensifies the flavour, but the seasoning is still subtle.

    Can you cook it first and then put it away for later? And then cook it with the eggs and bread crumbs later?

    Would it be ok to just skip the frying step? Is the flavor still good?
