MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN LEGS
Dark chicken meat is ideal for stews; it becomes more tender the longer and slower it cooks. To remove the thin top layer of the orange peel, use a vegetable peeler. Dredging the chicken in flour and then sauteing it seals in the juices, keeping it moist. The flour also helps to thicken the sauce.
