One-Pan Chicken Drumsticks with Rice and Beans

This aromatic one-pan chicken drumsticks and rice dish is a superb example of how simple ingredients can create a deeply satisfying meal. By browning the chicken first, you develop a rich savoury base that infuses the rice with flavour as it simmers. The addition of warm spices like turmeric and cinnamon, alongside hearty pulses and optional dried fruit, creates a balanced profile that is both comforting and vibrant. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious, high-protein dinner with minimal washing up.

Perfect for busy weeknights, this versatile recipe works well with any tinned beans you have in the larder, from chickpeas to cannellini. The rice absorbs the cooking juices beautifully, ensuring every forkful is moist and fragrant. Serve this wholesome one-pot meal straight from the pan, finished with a generous handful of fresh parsley or coriander to brighten the earthy notes of the spices.

Ingredients for One-Pan Chicken Drumsticks with Rice and Beans

  • 8 chicken drumsticks

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 3 matskedar extra jungfruolivolja

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, curry powder, or ground coriander

  • 1/2 cup white rice (any type except for sticky rice)

  • 1 (425g) can chickpeas, white beans, black beans, or other beans, drained, rinsed

  • 80g dried fruit, such as currants, raisins, cherries, or cranberries (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped tender herbs, such as coriander, parsley, mint, basil, and/or dill

Season drumsticks on all sides with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.

Heat oil in a large deep-sided skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook, turning once halfway through, until skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

Add onion, cinnamon, and turmeric to fat in skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice and stir to coat. Add 300ml hot water, scraping up browned bits from pan, then stir in chickpeas, dried fruit (if using), red pepper (if using), and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt. Nestle chicken back into skillet and bring liquid to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, 20–25 minutes.

Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork, then scatter herbs over.
