Peachy Chicken Drumsticks

This flavourful chicken recipe combines the taste of fresh peaches with a popping honey lemon sauce packing summer into every bite! 

Ingredients:

2.5 lbs chicken drumsticks

1 tsp chili powder

1 tbsp dry oregano

2 tsps garlic powder

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsps olive oil

2 firm peaches, unpeeled and sliced

1 bell pepper, cut in 1" squares

1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

3 tbsps honey

zest of 1/2 a lemon

juice of 1/2 a lemon 

2 tbsps butter

Combine the chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a plastic bag or waxed cereal bag. Toss in the chicken and give it a shake to coat. This can be done several hours earlier and refrigerated. When ready to cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet to medium then add the chicken and cook about 10 minutes without turning them over. Next flip them over and reduce heat to medium low. Cook 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove to a plate. To the same skillet add the bell pepper and red onion and cook 10 minutes before adding the peach slices. Cook another 5 minutes to slightly soften the peaches then add the honey, lemon zest and juice along with the butter. Spoon sauce over the peaches. Return the chicken to the  pan and again spoon sauce over everything. Simmer lightly to heat through.  Serves 4
