Full of flavor and boasting several rich colors, this recipe for chicken legs will quickly become your go-to meal when you want to serve something hearty and delicious.

Steps:
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken legs. Heat the oil in a large frying pan until hot. Season the chicken legs all over with salt and pepper, then fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Add the thyme, garlic, butter, and water to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan, and braise until the chicken legs are tender, 30-40 minutes. Turn the legs over halfway through the cooking.
- About 15 minutes before the chicken is ready, melt the butter in another pan and tip in the onions. Toss well and cook over medium to low heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender, 8-10 minutes. Add the thyme sprigs, peas, and water. Season well. Simmer until the peas are tender and most of the water has evaporated, 5-6 minutes. Add the lettuce and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute longer.
- Spread the braised peas and onions on a large serving platter and arrange the glazed chicken legs on top. Serve immediately.

I like the flavor of the soy, Worcestershire and garlic gives the chicken. And I love the way the peas caramelize in the oven. Over white rice this is delicious! You can use less peas but I always make extra since they always seem to disappear.

Steps:
- In large bowl soak chicken in water, and vinegar for about 10 minutes. Rinse well, trim excess skin and pat dry. This step is optional it's just how I clean chicken.
- Place chicken in a large zip lock bag or large bowl. To chicken add 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons salt (or to taste) and 1 teaspoons black pepper, garlic, oregano, lime juice, soy and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well, let marinade for at least an hour (overnight is best).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
- Place chicken skin side down in casserole dish large enough to leave some space between the chicken pieces. I bought one large aluminum tray. Pour remaining marinade over chicken. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place peas and onions in a large bowl. Season with 1 tablespoon of salt (or to taste) and 1 teaspoons pepper, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Toss to coat.
- After 20 minutes, remove chicken from oven and add the peas and onions. Turn chicken so that the skin side is up, and make sure the chicken is sitting on top of the peas so that the skin can brown. Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees and Cook for about 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. I served this with my white rice recipe http://www.food.com/recipe/white-rice-503045.
- Hope you enjoy!

- Cut off and discard the knuckle end of each drumstick, then season the chicken legs all over with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan or large deep frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken legs, skin-side down, and fry for about 6 minutes on each side until nicely golden. Add the thyme leaves, garlic and stock, bring to the boil, then partially cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes until the chicken legs are really tender.
- About 10 minutes before the chicken legs are ready, melt 25g of the butter in a medium-size pan. Add the shallots or onions, cover and cook gently over a medium heat, shaking the pan every now and then, for 8-10 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
- Uncover the chicken and lift the legs onto a plate. Cover and keep hot. Skim the excess fat from the surface of the remaining liquid, then stir in the peas, sugar, tarragon and remaining butter. Season lightly and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the lettuce wedges and baby onions, return the chicken legs to the pan, re-cover and simmer for another 3 minutes, until the peas and lettuce wedges are tender and the chicken has heated through. Serve immediately.
