Product recommendation
Suggested variation 1; add 30 g / 1 oz / 2 tbsp grated fresh coconut to the slow cooker before cooking. Suggested variation 2; replace 125 ml / 4 1/2 fl. oz / 1/2 cup of the chicken stock with the same amount of coconut milk for a creamier version.

Preparation steps

1.
Heat the olive oil in a large casserole dish set over a moderate heat until hot.
2.
Season the chicken with the ground spices, salt and pepper. Seal in the oil until golden brown in colour all over. Transfer to a slow cooker once sealed.
3.
Reduce the heat and add the rice. Stir well then add the stock, tomatoes and sultanas. Pour into the slow cooker and cover with a lid.
4.
Cook on a medium setting for 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked and rice is soft and tender.
5.
Add the broad beans and stir well then turn off the cooker but keep the lid on.
6.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan to 180°C | 350°F. Coat the potato cubes in the flour and season well. Shake off any excess before dipping in the beaten egg.
7.
Roll in the breadcrumbs and deep fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown in colour. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
8.
Spoon the casserole from the slow cooker into serving bowls. Sit the chicken drumsticks on top and garnish with the desiccated coconut.
9.
Sit the deep-fried potato next to the chicken and garnish the dishes with sprigs of chervil before serving.
