Rustic Creole Drumsticks

Chicken drumsticks browned in batches to lock juices, stewed in a chunky vegetable-tomato sauce with smoky andouille sausage. Key is low and slow melding of flavors, rendered down sauce picking up herbs and sautéed aromatics. Oven finish ensures tender meat, safe internal temp reached, and sauce thickened. Technique focuses on tactile cues over timers. Practical adjustments included for common pantry swaps and troubleshooting dryness or lack of caramelization. Reworked vegetable mix and seasoning to bring a different spin, subtle heat and earthiness. Hearty serving, no fluff. All steps aligned for confident home cook execution.
