Progresso Broth

Steps

    In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook drumsticks in oil 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is well browned on all sides.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To reduce the cost in this recipe, you can use 3 cups of water instead of the chicken broth, although the chicken broth does give more flavor.
  • tip 2
    If chicken thighs are on sale, they would make a great substitute for the drumsticks.
