Ingredients

Scale

8 chicken drumsticks

1 TBSP olive oil, plus 2 TBSP

2 tsp sea salt, plus 1/2 tsp

2 tsp garlic powder

1 yellow onion

1 lb figs

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 TBSP chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Place drumsticks in a baking dish, drizzle with 1 TBSP olive oil and season with 2 tsp sea salt and garlic powder. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until your preferred crispiness.
  3. Slice the onion and halve the figs, removing the stems. When the drumsticks are cooking for the last 15-20 minutes, add the onion and 2 TBSP of olive oil to a saucepan on medium heat. Let the onions cook until they start to become translucent and wilted.
  4. Add the figs, balsamic vinegar, and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Turn the heat to medium-high so that the liquid bubbles becomes thicker. Stir a couple of times over a five-minute period. Chop the chives while the sauce is reducing.
  5. When the chicken is done, spoon the contents of the fig sauce over the drumsticks
