I grew up in a Pennslvania Dutch house hold and my mother was a good cook but kept it simple. One of my favorites was chicken and dumplings.





- wash off the legs, dry them and coat with a mix of flour, little bit of salt and pepper to taste.





- Chop up carrots, potatoes and onions, mix together and put aside.





- mix 1 cup of water with one chicken bullion. You may add a little coriander, tumeric or curry to the mix if you want indian flavor.





- mix bisquick and water with a little oil to make dumpling mix. put aside.





- Make a bed of veggies in a crock pot or casserole dish, pour in the water and lay the chicken on top.Make sure the broth mix is not over the top of the chicken legs becuase...





- Spoon on dough balls from the batter all the way across the top.





Cover and bake for one hour - you guys will love this and everyone fights over the dumplins.Chicken leg recipe please?

Caribbean-Style Chicken Legs with Grilled Honey Pineapple





Chicken thighs and drumsticks are far more moist and have much more flavour than chicken breasts, especially when marinating them in a recipe like this. If you are cooking for a lot of people then it is worth pre-cooking the chicken pieces in a moderate oven (180C/Gas 4) for 20 minutes in the marinade, then finishing them off on the barbecue.





75ml dark rum


1 tbsp chilli powder


1/4 tsp chilli sauce


1 tbsp molasses


4 chicken legs, separated into thighs


and drumsticks


1 ripe pineapple


3 tbsp honey





1 Mix together the rum, chilli powder, chilli sauce and molasses in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and leave to marinate for 2 hours.


2 Cut the unpeeled pineapple into eight wedges. Discard the tough core and place in a shallow dish. Pour over


the honey and leave for 1 hour.


3 Cook the chicken over medium-hot coals for 35-40 minutes, turning and basting with extra marinade occasionally.


4 Add the pineapple, rind side down, to the barbecue 25 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Recently I made some very tasty chicken legs. I placed them in a glass casserole and salted and peppered. Under the skin, I placed an herb butter that I had already made before, I had made a lot and put it in the freezer to use in cases like this. It has: chervil, dill, parsley, tarragon. I added a couple handfuls of some frozen wild mushroom pieces to the dish, plus a handful of frozen peas. I poured about half an inch of white wine in, and roasted at 300 degrees for about an hour.





They were delicious and so was the sauce. Instead of herb butter, you can just use butter, or sprinkle some dried/fresh herbs under the skin + some butter.
