Aldi sell ridiculously cheap chicken legs, which actually have a fair amount of flavour. For some reason my family adore them, and I have nearly perfected a way of doing them, with onions, lemon juice, garlic, bacon, thyme, and a bit of wine - add a few sliced mushrooms at the end. One of the problems with chicken portions is often they seem a bit flabby - and tasteless - roasting them without too much liquid seems to overcome this problem, especially if there are plenty of other flavourings. I wouldn't risk casseroling them in anyway.
The kitten, Bernard, went wild and had to be forcibly ejected from laps and chairs at regular intervals during supper. Last night in deference to Islamic dietary laws I made this recipe without bacon and wine - and it was still pretty good.
