Sidenote:
1. Leek is optional. Happened to have it in my fridge so I just added it in.
2. If using big size drumstick, might want to check if it is well-cooked during step 8. Alternatively, maybe can increase the simmer duration to 40 minutes in step 13 so that the meat will be tender and the inside is cooked completely.
