Tangy Teriyaki Chicken

Have you ever made a recipe off the top of your head? That is what I did last night! I just made this meal and it was a hit with my hubby! Of course he is pretty easy to please! If you enjoy chicken with teriyaki sauce mixed with some worcestershire sauce this is the recipe for you! If you are having problems with this turning out, add a little bit here and there of the sauces. I don't usually use a measuring cup so this is a guestimate :) But it really does taste great!

What I used:

5 chicken legs
A small amount of flour
2 tbsp. of butter
A little more than 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
About 2/3 cup water (you'll have to eye this one because it needs to boil....so if it is not boiling then add a little more water)
2 tbsp. sugar
minced garlic

Coat chicken with flour, place in heated skillet with butter. Cook until the outside of the chicken is brown, turn chicken over several times. Remove chicken from skillet and add both sauces, sugar, garlic and water. Bring to a boil. Replace the chicken in the skillet and allow to boil uncovered until the juices run clear, be sure to keep turning the chicken over so it all cooks evenly. If you are a fan of pineapple that would add an extra flare plus add some great color!! I would have added it to my recipe, but my hubby is not a fan of fruit with his meat! All together it took about 20 min. for this to finish and tasted fabulous!

The mashed potatoes are just your every day run of the mill mashed potatoes! Several peeled and cut up potatoes brought to a raging boil until the potatoes were tender. Once done, drain the potatoes and add milk, salt and butter. I have also added sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, or even ranch dressing instead of all the milk. They are mouth watering and once you take a bite you will never want to go back to the "original recipe" of mashed potatoes!

The lima beans, well those are optional! We are fans of the great lima bean, but we understand that most of society is not! Green beans or even a fresh salad would be the perfect way to top off this plate!

From our table to yours, bon appetite!
