Frequently Asked Questions About Tomato paste chicken drumsticks
How do you make tomato paste chicken drumsticks?
Tomato paste chicken drumsticks are made by coating the drumsticks in tomato paste thinned with a little water, oil and seasonings, then roasting or braising them. Coat them evenly so the sauce seasons the meat rather than collecting only at the bottom of the pan.
How long should tomato paste chicken drumsticks bake?
Tomato paste chicken drumsticks usually take around 40–50 minutes in a 200°C (400°F) oven, depending on their size. Check the thickest part without touching the bone; chicken is safely cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
How do you keep tomato paste chicken drumsticks from drying out?
Keep tomato paste chicken drumsticks moist by starting them covered and uncovering them near the end to brown. Add a little water or stock to the pan, avoid overcooking, and let the meat rest briefly before serving so its juices settle.
Can you cook tomato paste chicken drumsticks in a slow cooker?
Yes, tomato paste chicken drumsticks can be cooked in a slow cooker. Thin the paste with a little liquid and coat the chicken before cooking; the drumsticks will be tender, though the skin will not turn crisp unless you brown them separately afterward.
What should you serve with tomato paste chicken drumsticks?
Rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad pair well with tomato paste chicken drumsticks. Spoon the tomato-rich pan juices over rice or potatoes, and add a fresh side to balance the savory sauce.
Can you use tomato sauce instead of tomato paste for tomato paste chicken drumsticks?
Yes, tomato sauce can replace tomato paste in tomato paste chicken drumsticks, but the coating will be thinner and less concentrated. Reduce other liquids in the recipe and simmer the sauce until it clings to the chicken.
How do you get crispy skin on tomato paste chicken drumsticks?
For crispier tomato paste chicken drumsticks, keep most of the wet sauce off the skin and roast them uncovered near the end. Pat the skin dry before seasoning; a heavy layer of tomato paste on top will soften it rather than crisp it.
Can you grill tomato paste chicken drumsticks?
Yes, tomato paste chicken drumsticks can be grilled over indirect heat. Tomato paste can scorch over direct flames, so cook the drumsticks away from the hottest part of the grill and turn them regularly until fully cooked.
How long do tomato paste chicken drumsticks keep in the fridge?
Cooked tomato paste chicken drumsticks keep for three to four days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate them within two hours of cooking, then reheat until steaming hot throughout.
Can you freeze tomato paste chicken drumsticks after cooking?
Yes, cooked tomato paste chicken drumsticks freeze well. Cool them, pack them airtight to prevent freezer burn, and thaw them in the refrigerator before reheating thoroughly; the sauce may separate slightly, but stirring it brings it back together.

What is Tomato paste chicken drumsticks?
Tomato paste chicken drumsticks are a Turkish home-style dish: chicken legs cooked with tomato paste and seasonings, either roasted or simmered until tender. Recipes vary, but the paste gives the cooking juices a deep, savoury tomato flavour and a warm red colour.
The meat is usually juicy beneath its browned skin, with a sauce that is good for spooning over rice or bulgur. In Turkey, it is commonly served as a family dinner with a simple salad or vegetables; elsewhere, it also pairs easily with potatoes or crusty bread. It is a protein-rich main with relatively little carbohydrate. For a lighter plate, remove the skin and serve the drumsticks with extra vegetables.
