Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 cups tomato sauce
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 2 pounds chicken legs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the chicken in the hot oil until lightly browned on all sides.

Step 2

Whisk the tomato sauce, garlic, onion, bay leaves, cumin, oregano, and vinegar in a bowl; pour over the chicken. Bring the mixture to a simmer and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
