BAKED SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN WITH VEGGIES

• Quarter onions, cut carrots into one inch pieces, (I used baby carrots, about 12).
• Seed, core and cut green peppers into one inch chunks.
• Scatter all veggies in a roasting pan with a lid, cover and roast at 400f degrees for 15 minutes.
• In a large shallow dish,combine flour, salt and pepper.
• Press chicken legs into flour mixture to coat all over.
• In a large non stick frypan heat 1 tablespoon oil, over medium high heat.
• Brown chicken in batches, adding remaining oil when necessary, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Arrange on top of veggies in roaster.
• Whisk together, in a measuring cup, orange juice,honey, soy sauce, tomato paste, corn starch and garlic.

SLOW-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH GARLICKY GREEN BEANS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Toss the green beans, garlic cloves and sage leaves with ¼ cup of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and arrange in an even layer on a sheet pan. Rub the chicken with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon salt. Arrange among the green beans and season with black pepper; scoot any green beans out from under the chicken. (It's okay if the green beans are clumped together.) Roast, tossing the green beans occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, and the green beans are dark green and wrinkled, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter. Stir the vinegar into the green beans and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the green beans and garlic to the platter, scraping all the pan drippings and browned bits from the pan.
• Eat the chicken with the green beans, cloves of roasted garlic and a spoonful of the pan drippings. Optionally, if you'd like the chicken's skin to be more browned, return the chicken to the sheet pan and broil until golden.

LAUREL'S SPICY SWEET AND SOUR GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• In a large pot of salted water, bring beans to a boil and simmer for 12-15 minutes. Drain.
• While beans are cooking, fry bacon in a large non-stick pan until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Cool and break into bite-sized pieces. (Alternatively, you can cut the bacon into bite sized pieces and fry them until crisp, remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.).
• Add onions to bacon grease in the pan and cook until soft. (If you feel you have too much grease, remove some first and save for another recipe. I like to leave at least 1/4 cup of grease in the pan.).
• In a bowl mix remaining ingredients and add to pan, simmering and stirring until the sauce thickens and has a nice thick syrupy consistency.
• Add beans to the pan and stir to coat the beans with sauce. Add the bacon and stir till combined. Serve.
