Easy Garlic Drumsticks

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add drumsticks. Cook for 8-10 minutes until skin is browned, turning frequently. Drain browned drumsticks well and return to skillet. Combine soup mix, 3/4 cup of the water, and minced garlic in a small bowl and pour over chicken. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until juices run clear and chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove drumsticks from skillet and cover to keep warm. In small bowl, combine 1/4 cup water, cornstarch, and pepper and blend well. Add to liquid remaining in skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently; boil 2 minutes until sauce thickens and bubbles. Serve over chicken with hot cooked rice or mashed potatoes.
