3 slices bacon, cut in small pieces (I use kitchen Scissors)
8 chicken drumsticks
1½ tablespoons minced garlic
2 leeks, white and light green parts, halved lengthwise, then sliced
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup half and half
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°. Put the bacon in a heavy gauge cast iron pot and cook over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Push the bacon to the side of the pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and then add it to the pan and cook, turning for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and leeks, and then arrange the chicken on top of rest of the items in the pan.
Transfer to the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter and keep warm.
Carefully return the pan to the stovetop over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and half and half and continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken and any juices back to the pan to warm chicken and cook for 2 more minutes.
