Cal Peternell’s Braised Chicken Legs (Dinner)

Less of a hit this time - didn't turn out quite as well (although I think it was pretty close) and just didn't click with anyone. This was after another chicken dish - maybe just too much chicken?

Cal Peternell’s Braised Chicken Legs (Dinner)

These were a hit! I really liked how crispy the floured chicken skin got, and the braise was really easy. This is a recipe that has a fancy result but is actually quite easy.

The reduction could have used either a bit more time or a bit more salt, but that's easy. I got 2.5lbs of chicken legs, but that was only 3! Next time order 5lbs to match the recipe (and, we ate most of what I'd made, so I need to make something else tomorrow).
