Last month,I was trying to do a beautiful chicken leg recipe that I devised! This was the last foto taken before my camera kicked the bucket. Here it is ready for the oven, before I decided to pre-cook the chicken legs.. This turned out to be a beautiful presentation and a delicious meal. Need I say more??? Nancy...3/18/2013
