Method for Tuscan Braised Chicken Recipe:
Firstly we need to marinate chicken legs with chopped garlic, white wine, salt and pepper. Leave the marinated chicken aside for at least half an hour.

After 30 minutes, remove the chicken from the marinade and dust the chicken with flour and pan fry in olive oil till chicken legs get golden brown. Remove from fire and keep aside. In the same pan deglaze the remaining marinade.

Now heat other heavy bottom pan and add onions. Saute well till transparent. Add chillies and olives. Add the de-glazed marinade to this, mix and pour in the chicken stock.

In a baking tray, arrange the chicken pieces and pour in the chicken stock. Braise the chicken for 20 minutes at temperature 200 degrees Centigrade.

Once done take the chicken out of the baking tray. Transfer the stock into a vessel and reduce the quantity to minimum. Pour it over on the chicken in a serving dish.

Please note: When you pour stock over the chicken while braising, pour only as much to cover the chicken and not more. Serve this dish with mashed potatoes and stir fried vegetables.
