Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken legs in half at the joint, then chop the vegetables into even, bite-size pieces.

  2. 2

    Sear the chicken pieces in hot oil on all sides until the skin is deep golden and crisp, then lift them out.

  3. 3

    Brown the bacon and vegetables in butter, stir in the tomato paste for a minute until it darkens, and deglaze with half the wine.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining liquid along with the herbs, nestle the chicken back in, and let it braise gently for about 30 minutes. That means the chicken broth and the bay leaf.
