Chicken Drumettes

Parmesan Risotto

Method

Chicken Drumettes

  1. 1

    Prepare the drumettes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine the chicken drumettes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the drumettes are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake the drumettes

    Place the drumettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy. During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the drumettes with buffalo sauce.

Parmesan Risotto

  1. 3

    Prepare the broth

    In a saucepan, heat the chicken broth over low heat. Keep it warm but not boiling.

  2. 4

    Cook the onion and garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook the rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.

  4. 6

    Add the broth gradually

    Pour in 1 cup of warm chicken broth and stir until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Continue adding the broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently, until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  5. 7

    Finish the risotto

    Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  6. 8

    Garnish and serve

    Serve the risotto warm, garnished with chopped parsley, alongside the buffalo chicken drumettes.
