This is comfort food at its best! Definitely company worthy. While you visit with your guests, your dinner is making everyone hungry with its tantalizing aroma! Chicken leg and thigh quarters cooked slow in a cast iron dutch oven until the potatoes are a nice golden brown. Serve with some crunchy bread for a very satisfying meal. Enjoy! The photos are my own and so is this humble recipe.
