-Boiled 4 drumsticks in salted water for 5 minutes
-Placed on a bed of rosemary & sage (from the garden) with 1 lemon halved, in an oven proof dish. Broil till lemons are brownish and meat is firmed.
-Meanwhile, in my Brooklyn Kitchen cast iron pan, I cooked down onions and garlic with oil.
-Slowly added chicken stock (mine made from bouillon and water, cheaper), bringing back to a simmer each time a new ingredient is added. Cannelinni beans, Kale, uncored and unseeded diced tomatoes, celery. (All from the Paisley Farm CSA, and McCarren Park Farmers Market.)
-A couple squirts of Sriracha, pepper, sea salt and a large tblspoon of tomato paste to thicken.
-Once celery and kale are to desired texture, the chicken is cool enough now to be pulled off bone and put into soup. Bring all to a simmer and serve.
-time and taste is all up to you
