This One Pot Braised Latin Chicken Drumsticks are made with drumsticks, red onions, garlic, celery, broth, tomatoes, limes, and cilantro.
Braising is one of the easiest ways to infuse delicious flavors into food. It is perfect for days when you don’t want to spend too much concentration on your dish and requires minimum attention. I love slow cooked bone-in chicken and this is by far one of my favorites. This is a one pot recipe which makes cleanup that much easier. This is one of the easiest recipes, especially if you are feeding a family. Not only is it tasty, it is also super healthy. This is an easy weeknight meal and fuss-free. I love to serve them with some broccoli on the side. This dish will become a part of your regular meals, all it takes it one time, and you’ll be hooked.
How to make One Pot Braised Latin Chicken Drumsticks
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. The longer you salt the chicken the tastier it will be.
Add olive oil in a large saucepan on medium high heat. When oil is hot, add the chicken and brown for 4 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Add the onion, garlic, celery and salt and cook for 4 minutes. Add the diced tomato, oregano, chicken broth and salt and pepper. Stir, reduce heat to low heat, and cook for 1 hour and a half.
When the chicken is ready, squeeze half a lime into the sauce and stir. Garnish with cilantro.

So full of flavor. I braised for a couple minutes longer so the meat falls off the bone. Amazing!
