Plan to cook with chicken drumsticks for the first time in ages tomorrow. I don't have an oven so I'll be microwaving them. Any ideas how long it will take?
spoiler
Just kidding about the microwave. They'll be done on the stove in a tomatoey sauce. I plan to crisp the skin first and add them back in later, but what's a rough time period they'll need to be in the sauce for to cook through?agree with cherryripesalmoncake that 20 mins is minimum. 30 sounds about right - this pre-supposes that the tomatoey sauce is kept at a simmer. Crisping the skin will help to heat up the outside and reduces simmering time to 30 mins imo. Also number of drummies matters - all times quoted refer to a single layer in the pan. If doubling up the layers (even by 1 drumstick) then add another 15 mins.
