Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Lay chicken drumsticks on a platter or tray; salt and pepper both sides, leaving the skin on.
In a large deep pot, melt 2 T. coconut oil on medium heat. Add onion; cook 3-4 minutes. Add in garlic and shallots; cook 2 minutes. Remove from the pan; set aside.
In the same pot, add remaining coconut oil until hot and melted. Add chicken, skin side down, cooking 3-4 minutes; turn over; cook on second side until golden brown. This might need to be done in 2 batches.
Add in all the chicken drumsticks; pour in coconut vinegar while the pan is hot. It will bubble and foam (which is why you need a deep pot); simmer for 2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken stock/broth and tomatoes; add cinnamon; add reserved onion mixture and cinnamon; season with salt and pepper.
Pour olives over the top; add fresh snipped rosemary. Cover; simmer on low heat 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender.
Serve on top of rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes or pasta.
8 servings.
