This recipe is from Giada at Trafalgar, a Be My Guest host.

Cook up a Tuscan specialty from the comfort of your kitchen with Giada. This Italian soul food recipe has only 5 ingredients.

Ingredients

  • Chicken legs
  • 1 clove of garlic (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into 2 pieces (skin-on) and generously season with salt & pepper. Massage the meat to let the chicken absorb the seasoning.

  3. Pour the wine and let it boil for a few seconds, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes or until the sauce is thick and reduced.
