Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg chicken drumsticks
  • 400 grams diced tomatoes
  • 1 red capsicum
  • 50 grams bacon
  • 1 brown onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 TBSP paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 TBSP fat to cook olive oil, ghee, tallow, lard
  • 2 cups water to cover

Method
 

  1. Finely dice the onion and garlic
  2. Place a pot over a medium heat and add in the cooking fat
  3. Once hot add the onion and garlic and cook until soft
  4. While you are waiting, dice the capsicum and bacon
  5. Add these to the pot when the onion is cooked
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and add the paprika, stirring well. Place the pot back on the heat and now add in the chicken too
  7. Top with water until the tops of the chicken are just poking out
  8. Bring the pot up to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for roughly two hours. By this stage the chicken will be so soft, it will be almost falling off the bone
