Frank Madrid is a music producer, festival director, tour manager, and a radio presenter. He has learnt to recreate his mother's home cooking here in Australia and shows us how to prepare his creole chicken recipe.
Ingredients
8 chicken drumsticks, without skin1 tbsp mixed spice condiment
1/3 cup soy sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed
2 large Spanish onions, peeled, thinly sliced
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 shallots, chopped
1 small Mexican chilli (red or green)
1 green capsicum, stemmed, seeded, finely chopped
1 red capsicum, stemmed, seeded, finely chopped
3 tbsp canola oil
2 tsp brown sugar
2 cups water
Preparation
Place the chicken drumsticks into a large bowl. Add the spice mix, soy sauce, salt and black pepper.Mix together the garlic, onion, tomatoes, shallots, chilli, and capsicums. Marinate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
Heat the oil in a frypan. When hot, add the brown sugar. Carefully keep stirring, until all the sugar has melted and turns a dark caramel colour.
When the caramel begins to shimmer and foam, add the drumsticks, one at the time, searing them on all sides.
Add the marinade mixture, and cook over medium-high heat, until it has softened and begun to brown.
Add the water until it covers the chicken and all the ingredients. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat, allowing the sauce to reduce.
When the sauce is ready, turn the heat off and allow the dish to rest. Check the seasoning, and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve on a bed of white rice, or mashed sweet potatoes.

Hot Tips
Chopping an onion
Cut the onion it in half across the base (leaving a portion of root on each half - this will help keep the onion together while slicing), peel the onion and place cut side down. Make multiple cuts long ways from top to bottom but not through the root at the end. The more cuts, the finer the dice.
