Step by Step Method

Step 1

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Brown chicken in 2 tbsp of the oil in a large nonstick skillet; remove and set aside.

Step 3

Fry bacon until the fat renders out and drain off drippings.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and stir in the flour until incorporated.

Step 5

Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until slightly softened, 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the tomato, tomato paste, milk and broth and bring to a boil, stirring until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet; add the parsley sprigs.

Step 8

Cover the chicken and braise for 20 minutes, until the meat is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a platter and discard the parsley sprigs.

Step 9

Return the skillet to moderate heat and cook the gravy, whisking constantly, until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Whisk in the chopped parsley, pour the gravy over the chicken legs and serve.
