2. If you want a juicier and more tender chicken, we recommend cooking the stew over low heat to enhance the flavors and seasonings that the recipe offers.
3. If you have leftovers or want to save the recipe for another time, store the chicken drumsticks in the fridge in an airtight container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms).
4. If you want to add a little more flavor to the recipe, after turning off the heat, season the chicken with chopped coriander or chopped parsley.
