Victory Chicken Legs

Here's a good, inexpensive recipe for chicken, legs or thighs. I'm sure Zack would want these bbq'd or slathered in Buffalo sauce, but I think this is a more sophisticated treatment.  

• 4 or 5 chicken legs or thighs

• can of beans (any variety pinto, great northern, kidney, etc. will do), drained and rinsed

• 3 small yellow onions, chopped coarse

• 7-10 cloves garlic, crushed with flat side of the knife

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1/4 cup dry white wine

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 celery stalk

• 1 tsp each salt and pepper

Heat oil in skillet on medium high heat. Add onions and celery. Cook until the onions begin to get translucent, about 5 or 6 minutes. Add garlic. Cook 5 minutes. 

Coat chicken in salt and pepper, then add chicken to the pan. Brown chicken on all sides, 8-10 minutes total. Add wine, scraping up any caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. Add chicken broth and beans. Bring to boil then reduce heat to low. Cover. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until chicken is done. Chicken should be tender and moist.
