Chicken Drumstick Vesuvio



Like a lot of households, things have been kind of lean around here.  Gas and grocery costs seem to keep going up, but nothing new is coming in.  One thing I love about chicken drumsticks is they are CHEAP, but they are also easy to make and easy to eat.  If you grow your own herbs like my sister Nicole, it's even cheaper. This recipe freezes well and reheats even better, the freezing / reheating process seems to make the herbs really sink in.

  1. The first time I tried Chicken vesuvio was when an Italian Chef, who is a friend of mine, invited us over dinner some years ago. This recipe looks a little different but I am really excited to try this dish. Thanks for sharing!

    This means that you actually get rid of fat by eating coconut fat (in addition to coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).
