• Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. Roughly chop onion (see ingredients). Finely chop garlic. Pick and finely chop rosemary. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken drumsticks, the plain flour and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken, turning, until browned on all sides, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and onion until tender, 2-3 minutes. Add Aussie spice blend, garlic, rosemary and tomato paste, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir through red wine jus, chicken-style stock powder, the brown sugar and water. Transfer to slow cooker and set cooking temperature to high. • Place lid on slow cooker and cook, turning each hour, until chicken is tender and the meat is falling off the bone, 4 hours.
• When the stew has 20 minutes cook time remaining, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. Trim green beans. Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. • In the last 8 minutes of cook time, place a colander or steamer basket on top, then add green beans. Cover and steam until the beans are tender, 7-8 minutes. • Transfer green beans to a bowl. Season, then set aside. • Drain potatoes and return to saucepan. Add the butter, milk and shredded Cheddar cheese. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
• Divide mash and slow-cooked chicken drumsticks between bowls. • Top with steamed green beans. Enjoy!
TIP: No slow cooker? Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Prepare chicken drumsticks and sauce as above. Transfer mixture to an ovenproof saucepan, cover with a lid (or tightly with foil). Bake until chicken is tender (when no longer pink inside), 90 minutes.
