I just loved how easy and tasty this Paleo Drumstick Chicken recipe I adapted from The Healing Kitchen Cookbook is, so I knew I had to share it! I used my Yedi Instant Pressure Cooker (think Instant Pot)to cook the drumsticks up, and the chicken turned out fabulous! They were still the right amount of crispy & flavorful, & tasted better than eating out. Anyone else in love with their Yedi Pot? When your husband gives them two thumbs up, you know its the real deal! Now, let’s get right to the good stuff!

One thing I really liked about this recipe is that it can be prepped a full 24 hours in advance. I took that advice in order to save myself not only time for the next day, but also to make sure that my chicken was good and marinated. I recommend using glass containers, such as these Pyrex food containers (that are BPA-free) to marinate your meats and store food in (I use mine all the time)!

For this recipe, you’re going to need:

Coconut~Garlic Drumsticks Ingredients

• 12 Skin On Chicken Drumsticks
• 1/2 Cup Garlic Sauce (recipe to follow on this post)
• 1/4 cup Honey
• 1/2 Teaspoon Fine Sea Salt

Coconut~Garlic Drumsticks directions

When it was time to cook dinner for my husband and I the next day, all i had to do was transfer the drumsticks and the sauce to my instant pot. To do this, I:

• Arranged the drumsticks in a single layer in the Yedi Pot
• Added in all remaining Garlic sauce marinade
• Top with 2 Tablespoons of fresh Garlic clove
• Close the lid, set it to “Poultry”
• Allow the chicken to slow release

and Voila! Coconut-Garlic Drumsticks! Makes about 4 servings.

Coconut~Garlic Sauce Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1/2 Cup Full Fat Coconut Milk
• 8 Tablespoons of Garlic Powder
• 1/2 Tablespoon Freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
• 1/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt

Coconut~Garlic Sauce directions

Blend all of your ingredients in a blender on the “sauce” (I use my Blendtec) or “puree” setting until creamy with a saucey-like texture. I love that this sauce can actually be stored in a glass container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. I adore Sage Spoonfuls Glass Jars~BPA-free & perfect for storing sauces, dressings and portion controlled lunches, and the best part is, they are reusable! *For this recipe, this is the sauce you will be marinating the drumsticks in overnight!

Ya know its good stuff if you’ve added it to your Rifle Paper Co. Recipe Box!
