Chicken Cacciatore with Red Wine

   We haven't done much cooking lately because Jake and I have been sick. Tonight was Jake's night to cook. He decided to use some of the chicken legs that we bought today from Grocery Outlet. There were 14 legs for $3.17. The red wine was on sale to, it was $1.99 a bottle. For some reason Jake likes cooking with wine, especially red. I am going to be lazy and copy and paste the recipe he used. He did change it buy added 1 large cubed carrot, and 1 tsp. dried thyme.
