Heat your oven to 160C (fan). Heat a wide lidded casserole over medium heat and add the oil. Toss the chicken drumsticks together with the flour, and brown the chicken in batches, removing from the dish when browned. Add the onions and stir for a minute (adding a little more oil if necessary), then add the garlic, capsicum, mushrooms and sundried tomato, stirring occasionally until the onions are lightly browned. Add the cherry tomatoes, wine, stock, bay leaves, thyme, salt and sugar, scraping any browned bits from the base of the pot. Return the drumsticks to the pot. Bring to a simmer then transfer to the oven for 45 minutes covered.
Add the olives and return to the oven for a further 20 minutes uncovered. Allow to stand for 20 minutes before serving scattered with parsley.
