Monday Menu: Chicken Legs and Wings



My thought process this day was to cook up all the ingredients for a quick chicken dinner, then make a  potpie with the leftovers to use up some wheatless pie dough I found in the freezer.  Waste not, want not.


I cut up two heads of fresh garlic, a handful of carrots, two handfuls of potatoes and three onions.  Topped that with two chicken leg quarters and the wings from one of our seven-pound birds.


On to a 300f Big Green Egg for an hour, until the thermometer registered 170f.


Gave the parts a quick sear to get some color, and done!


I had some wheatless pasta going on as well to absorb  the broth.  Hearty fare. And what of the potpie?



Here it is - or rather, this is a fish pie (trout) because all the chicken disappeared that evening.  Truly a mystery.
