Chicken with onions and peppers recipe, an Italian easy and delicious main course with chicken legs, which remains very soft and succulent.
My kids really love chicken when I cook it in sweet and sour, taking advantage of the season though, this time I wanted to cook chicken legs with peppers and onions. A simple dish, which has become special thanks to the addition of a secret ingredient: smoked paprika.
To cook the chicken legs in a pan with onions and peppers you do not need the oven, but just a large pot: it will be very easy. You will see that the meat cooked in this way will remain so tender and succulent, that this will always be the right idea as you will look for a summer recipe with chicken or peppers.

Steps
Chicken with onions and peppers, step by step.
Clean the chicken, remove the fat parts and the remaining feathers, if necessary, flame it on the stove to burn the remaining ones.
Collect the meat in a bowl, add the garlic and spices, you can also use classic paprika and omit the curry, or use other spices you prefer. Add honey (it will make the finished dish really special) and 1/2 glass of white wine, stir and let marinate at least 30 minutes.
Clean the peppers, remove the seeds and filaments and cut into strips. Peel and slice the onions and brune them in olive oil.
Add the peppers, salt and let them cook a bit.
Heat another pan, move the chicken and let it brown well on all sides, then add all the marinade bottom. Cook for 15 minutes over a high heat, letting it flavour well.
Collect in a single pot both the meat and vegetables, season with salt, mix, cover and forget it for at least 45 minutes, cooking over very low heat.
You will see that the chicken will have released a lot of liquid, remove the lid from the pot, raise the heat and continue cooking until these liquids evaporate and the chicken legs begin to brown again in the cooking pan.
Turn off the gas, cover, let stand 15-20 minutes and bring to the table, our dish is ready to be served.
You can keep the leftover part cold in the fridge for 24 hours and heat it up to cooking temperature (so as to eliminate any contamination), before consuming it.
