Russian Chicken Drumsticks with Buckwheat in Oven
Buckwheat with chicken in the oven is one of my favorite dishes. I like to make with drumsticks but we can choose other meats as well. It is Russian comfort food. Dishes with buckwheat is very common on our table in the winter time. So easy to make and very tasty but most important it very nutrition meal. It is great food for kids. Great with little butter on top of buckwheat. I put little butter garnish on the top of buckwheat but someone distracts me and it melted by moment I was ready to take photos. I garnished in the photo with dill pickle flower and marinated bean in the center.
The best pot to cook this dish preferably needs to be heavy. I use my Marrocan dish from clay call tagine. I love it! I heard about this dish on one YouTube videos. Of course, I need to have one! When I shop online, what I wanted was very expensive. One day I see my at local TJMax store, it was before tax $25 dollars. Really, I was so happy to find one like a child! Now I am the proud owner of the tajine! We can make this dish in other heavy pots too.

6 chicken drumsticks

Salt, black pepper to taste
Dry parsley
Slap Ya Mama spices mix or red pepper and garlic powder
5 tablespoon vegetable oil to fry drumsticks and saute onion
How to Prepare Buckwheat for Cooking
Buckwheat needs to be inspected before cooking. Some packages are perfect but some contain seeds covers or grans in covers. Quality depends on the company you buy from. It takes just a few minutes to do it. Base on my own experience, I suggest inspecting. I usually take a piece of paper. So easy to see everything on it in small portions of buckwheat. When you have done wash it in cold water. Wash a few times by water start to be clear.
Some cookbooks suggest to fry it on a stove. I skip this step because it not necessary. With grains I cook in the USA, it cooks well without. However, if you buckwheat takes longer than 30 minutes, this step helps to reduce cooking time.
Place buckwheat in a dish and it is ready to add other ingredients.
