Cooking with Dr. Monkey

Today's episode:
Actually today's episode is spicy chicken legs with potatoes a la Monkey.
I started off by mixing up all my spices for the spice mixture, which consists of the following:

• 1 heaping tblsp of black peppercorns
• 1/2 tsp of cumin
• 2 tsp of chili powder (not hot)
• 1 tsp of Spanish paprika
• 1 dash of crushed red pepper
• 1/2 tsp of coarse sea salt
• 3 chopped up cloves of garlic
• 1 tsp of Old Bay seafood seasoning

I crushed and mixed all that together in my motar and pestle and then I set it aside and I cut off all the skin on chicken legs.Next I laid the legs in an 8x8 pyrex cooking pan and I coated them with my spice mixture and I added a tablespoon of Brummel and Brown butter substitute. I set my oven on 375 and after it heated up I covered the chicken legs with some foil so as to seal in the juices and steam and I baked the legs for about an hour and fifteen minutes.

While the legs baked I peeled a few potatoes and I then cubed them. I sauteed some onion and some garlic and when the potatoes were done I mixed it all together. In a bowl I put 1/4 cup of olive oil and about three, maybe four, tablespoons of spicy brown mustard. I mixed the mustard and olive oil together and I added some fresh cut chives and some fresh cracked black pepper. Then I put the potatoe mixture in the bowl with the mustardy olive oil and I mixed it all up.That's what the legs looked like after an hour and fifteen minutes in the oven. Mmmmmm, tatsy.
I served the chicken and potatoes with a small green salad and some toasted French bread that we got at Scratch bakery. It was all quite tasty and I don't feel a bit guilty about not saving you any.
