Season the chicken drumettes with paprika, turmeric, oregano, rosemary, and salt.

2min

Dica: Reserve the amount of seasoning according to 1kg of drumettes.

2

Place the chicken in a pan and add just enough water to cover the bottom to begin the cooking process.

1min

Dica: If the water evaporates during the initial process, add a little more water.

3
fritar

Cook the chicken in the water for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the water evaporates and the chicken starts to brown.

When the chicken is nicely browned and the water is gone, add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the chicken in the pan.

1min

Dica: Sauté the garlic and onion for about one to two minutes.

When the okra is dry (not slimy), add about 200 ml of water (or the desired amount for the sauce) and let it simmer until the okra is fully cooked.

15min

Dica: If you prefer a saucier dish, increase the amount of water.
