CALDO DE POLLO
This is my first attempt at making caldo de pollo. I think it turned out great. You might need to add salt to taste as my recipe doesn't have very much. I like to serve this with warm corn tortillas and a side of Spanish rice and refried beans. Please enjoy and let me know what you think.

PIERNAS DE POLLO - SPANISH-STYLE CHICKEN LEGS.
This is a recipe from a cookbook entitled, "Tapas" by Richard Tapper. It is a very accessible recipe for chicken legs and has simply wonderful flavor due to the sauce. If you are a huge garlic-lover, feel free to add more garlic. You can easily halve or double the recipe. Great served with rice. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F Cover a large, half-sheet baking pan with foil. Except for the 1 cup of wine and lemon wedges, mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Add 3 tbsps of the wine and the salt and pepper. Toss everything together again and spread out on the pan, scraping all the seasonings out of the bowl.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then pour half the remaining wine over the chicken and vegetables. Reduce the oven to 325 F and roast 20 minutes and pour the rest of the wine over the ingredients.
- Roast another 30 minutes, occasionally turning pieces and basting them with pan juices, or until a thermometer inserted into a thigh reads 165 degrees. Fire up the broiler and brown the chicken and vegetables a few minutes on each side.
- Take the pan out of the oven, lightly cover with foil and allow to rest 10-15 minutes. Pile the chicken on a warm platter, decorate with lemon wedges and serve with white or brown rice.
SPANISH STYLE CHICKEN (GRILLED WITH RAISIN WINE SAUCE)
I am looking to thin my collection of cookbooks over the next several months. To do so, I'm submitting all of the recipes I tabbed to try one day here for safe keeping. This particular dish comes from an indoor grilling cookbook and would also be suitable for outdoor cooking. It is a true departure from my usual preference for bolder spices, but is truly flavorful treatment of the bland chicken breast.

- Stir in the broth and wine and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer until it begins to thicken.
- And add the lemon juice, bay leaves, pepper, thyme, salt and raisins. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves.
