Step by Step guide

Step 1

Soak the chickpeas overnight for 10–12 hours.

Step 2

Cook the soaked chickpeas for 60 to 90 minutes, adding bay leaves and whole black pepper.

Step 3

Place the chopped drumsticks in a baking dish, and season with oil and spices.

Step 4

In a deep bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas, tomatoes, and herbs, then add a little more spices and a spoonful of oil, and mix well.

Step 5

Pour the chickpea and vegetable mixture over the chicken drumsticks and thighs, season with salt and pepper to taste, and bake in a preheated oven at 392°F until the chicken is cooked through. It's best to cover the dish with foil to prevent drying out.
