  • How do you make quick skillet chicken drumsticks with cherry tomatoes?
    1. Pull the skin off the chicken drumsticks. 2. Sear them in a skillet with vegetable oil, about a minute per side over medium heat. 3. Then cover the pan and cook the drumsticks for 10–15 minutes, depending on their size. 4. For the sauce, stir together the kvass wort concentrate, balsamic vinegar, and thyme in a separate bowl. (Kvass wort is a dark, malty concentrate; if you can't find it, a splash of dark beer or a little molasses makes a fine stand-in.) 5. Pour the sauce over the drumsticks and season with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. 6. Add the rinsed whole cherry tomatoes, stir, and cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
  • Keep in mind that the right pan matters: even the best recipe can be ruined by the wrong skillet.
  • Every oil is good only up to a certain point — its smoke point, above which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds, including carcinogens. Choose an oil with a high smoke point for frying.
  • If you use a pre-made spice blend, be sure to check the label. These blends often already contain salt, so keep that in mind or you risk over-salting the dish.
