Tender and Crisp Chicken Legs with Sweet Tomatoes

This is one of my favourite meals of all time, which was once cooked for Monsieur and I by some of our friends.  If you have eaten at my house, I have probably made it for you.

Need a meal to impress a new friend?  Make this chicken.  Having a potential suitor over for dinner? How about this chicken?  Parents or inlaws coming over? Hey, I heard this chicken's good. 

Why is it so delicious?  Because it’s a (dreamy sigh altogether now ladies and possibly gents) Jamie Oliver dish.   If you go to London the first thing you need to do after booking your plane tickets is to make yourself reservations at Fifteen.  The hotel can wait!  Or better yet, you can stay at the Hoxton and roll home.  Speaking from experience...

I bought some colourful tomatoes (because it has to look nice or I wouldn’t blog about it) I threw in some basil from my garden (which I’ll have you know is still very much alive thankyouverymuch) and I always throw in little white beans (navy or kidney).  Tonight was especially delicious since it was just the two of us for dinner and I got to have all the roasted garlic cloves to myself.  Great for me.  Not so much for Monsieur.

Also, check out these fancy waters.  Delicious.
