Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.
  2. Season the chicken legs generously with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, then lightly brush them with olive oil.
  3. Place the chicken on the grill or under the broiler, skin-side down first, and cook for about 10 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. While the chicken cooks, melt unsalted butter in a medium skillet over moderate heat.
  5. Add the thinly sliced onions, along with 1 teaspoon of coarse salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the onions are soft and clear.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic and paprika, cooking for an additional minute while stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  7. Add the chopped roasted red, yellow, and poblano peppers, along with the diced tomato and chicken stock to the skillet.
  8. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to let it simmer.
  9. Cook the sauce uncovered for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  10. Serve the grilled chicken legs over individual beds of cooked bulgur wheat, rice, or pasta.
  11. Ladle the warm roasted pepper sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
