Ingredients

  • 8  Chicken Drumsticks
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • 4 teaspoons Sea Salt, Divided
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1  Yellow Onion
  • 1 pound Figs
  • ¾ cups Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Chives

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Place drumsticks in a baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 3 teaspoons sea salt and garlic powder. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until preferred crispiness.

Slice onion and halve the figs, removing the stems. When drumsticks are in the last 15–20 minutes of cooking, add onion and remaining olive oil to a saucepan on medium heat. Cook until onions start to become translucent and wilted.

Add figs, balsamic vinegar, and remaining 1 teaspoon sea salt. Turn heat to medium-high so that the liquid bubbles and becomes thicker. Stir a couple of times over a 5-minute period. Chop chives while the sauce is reducing.

When chicken is done, spoon the contents of the fig sauce over the drumsticks and sprinkle the chives on top. Serve.
