Spicy Chicken Legs With Tomatoes & Potatoes image

This recipe is a great use of chicken legs for an unbelievable dinner flavor that will impress your friends. A friend cooked it for me once but I modified it to give it a bit of extra flavor. Also my wife hates onions so the onions were replaced with onion powder. She loved it.
