Curried Chicken Drumsticks

These curried chicken drumsticks offer a fragrant and comforting meal that balances gentle spice with the creamy richness of coconut milk. This high-protein dish uses affordable drumsticks, which remain succulent and tender while simmering in a vibrant sauce of yellow curry powder, lemongrass, and lime. The addition of crispy shallots and fresh coriander provides a wonderful contrast in texture and brightness, making it a sophisticated yet simple choice for a weeknight dinner.

As a nutritious, gluten-free option when served with rice noodles, this recipe is ideal for those seeking a satisfying, balanced meal. The slow-simmered sauce coats the noodles beautifully, ensuring every bite is packed with flavour. High in protein and naturally dairy-free if using coconut oil, it is a versatile family favourite that brings a taste of Southeast Asian-inspired cuisine to your kitchen.

  • 1 lemongrass stalk, crushed (optional)

  • 3 tablespoons vadouvan or any yellow curry powder

  • 1/4 colher de chá de pimenta caiena

  • 475ml de caldo de galinha com baixo teor de sódio

  • 1 lata (375g) de leite de coco sem açúcar

How to make Curried Chicken Drumsticks

Heat ghee in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until skin is golden brown and crisp, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a plate (it will not be cooked through).

Add onions to same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, 6–8 minutes. Add garlic, lemongrass (if using), vadouvan, and cayenne and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add broth, coconut milk, lime juice, and 1/2 cup coriander, then return chicken to skillet and gently push down into liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until chicken is tender and cooked through and sauce is thickened, 40–45 minutes. Be sure to turn chicken a couple of times while it’s cooking so all sides get exposed to the curry sauce.

Just before chicken is done, cook noodles according to package directions. Rinse noodles under warm water, then toss in a large bowl with a little bit of the curry sauce. This will help to prevent them from sticking.

Divide noodles among shallow bowls. Place drumsticks on top and ladle curry sauce over. Top with crispy shallots and remaining 1/2 cup coriander. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
