6 chicken drumsticks (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
2 tablespoons paprika (divided (I’m using hot paprika, though you can use sweet or smoked))
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (plus more to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 medium onions (sliced)
2 bell peppers (seeded and sliced into strips (use Italian sweets if available))
3-4 jalapeno peppers (sliced into strips (optional, for a spicier version))
6 cloves garlic (minced)
1.5 cup dry white wine
For Serving. Chopped parsley (red pepper flakes, lemon, olive oil.)

1
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2
Toss the chicken drumsticks with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon paprika, chili flakes, salt and pepper. Be sure to evenly coat.
3
Heat a large oven-proof skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned drumsticks for 5 minutes, turning to brown each side. Remove chicken and set aside.
4
Heat the remaining olive oil in the same skillet and add onions and peppers. Cook for 5 minutes to soften.
5
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
6
Add the chicken back to the pan.
7
Pour the wine into the pan. Sprinkle with remaining paprika, along with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste.
8
Transfer to the oven and roast, uncovered, turning the chicken a few times throughout, for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through and nicely glazed.
