Notes
Kim’s freezing tips: Raw: Buy drumsticks in bulk. Place, in a single layer, in large snap-lock bags. Squeeze bags to remove excess air. Seal and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw in fridge overnight. Cooked: Tomato and olive chicken: Complete recipe up to end of step 2. Cool. Transfer to an airtight container. Cover. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in fridge overnight. To reheat, place chicken mixture in a large frying pan, adding extra stock if necessary. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is heated through.
