As we move into fall, it’s time for warming, comforting dinners. Tonight, try making our long-simmered chicken drumsticks, cooked in a homemade, medium-spicy enchilada sauce with the deep, roasted flavor of Garlic Gold® Oil.
These drumsticks are delicious served over fluffy white rice, and way easier than making a pan of enchiladas from scratch! Oh, and if you’re really in a hurry, you can substitute a 32-ounce can of enchilada sauce for the homemade stuff. Just be sure you sprinkle on plenty of Garlic Gold® Southwest Nuggets at the table for an extra pop of flavor.

Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 large red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 jalapeño peppers, chopped, seeds included
- 1 medium white onion, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup Garlic Gold Oil
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt diced tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 pounds chicken drumsticks
To garnish
- Garlic Gold® Southwest Nuggets
- Chopped cilantro
- Sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Spread out the chopped peppers and onion on the baking sheet and drizzle with Garlic Gold® Oil. Roast the vegetables for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool for about twenty minutes, until no longer piping hot.
- In a blender, combine the roasted vegetables with the lime juice, chicken broth, tomatoes, spices, and salt. Process until you have a smooth purée, about one minute. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt if desired.
- Pour half of the sauce from the blender into a large (5 or 6-quart) dutch oven or heavy-bottomed soup pot. Layer in the drumsticks, then pour in the rest of the sauce to cover the drumsticks.
- Heat the dutch oven over medium heat, until the sauce comes up to a simmer. Turn down to medium-low and let simmer for an hour, until the drumsticks are tender.
- Serve over rice, or with tortillas and beans alongside. Garnish with Southwest Nuggets, cilantro, and green onions.
