  • 1
    onion
  • 3 cloves
    garlic
  • 1
    carrot
  • 1 stick
    celery
  • 2 tbsp
    olive oil
  • 1 tbsp
    tomato puree
  • 500 ml
    light beer

  • 1 tsp
    paprika

1
Season the drumsticks evenly with salt, pepper and the Lemon Herb Chicken Mix.


2
Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Peel the carrot and dice. Wash the celery stalk and slice thinly.


3
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Fry the chicken drumsticks in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides, then remove and set aside.
