Chicken Drumstick Pilaf Recipe
The pilaf cooked with spices, pine nuts and black currant is called "iç pilav" in Turkey. It means filling pilaf. As it is used generally for filling chicken or turkey it is called so. As a matter of fact, this is my favarite pilaf.
I love its smell of spices. It also very well goes with chicken. You can use any other parts of chicken instead of drumsticks. If you use a pressure cooker to boil chicken drumsticks it is a practical kind dish I think. I hope you like it.
