Directions
1. In a small bowl combine Balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, peppercorns (or fresh cracked pepper), garlic and rosemary. Puree with a blender until smooth and set aside.
2. Cut chicken legs. Season the chicken thighs and drumsticks with salt and fresh cracked pepper, all over and under the skin.
3. In a 12-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, skin side down, and cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken skin side gets nicely browned. Turn chicken, so that skins sides are up and add the balsamic/honey mixture to the skillet. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until done.
4. Transfer chicken to plates and drizzle with pan juices. Enjoy!

Surprising and delicious! This was the 2nd time I made the recipe, and for some reason it got into my head that fresh sage was on the list too so I added a small bunch of leaves. That, combined with the mixed pepper I always use sure didn't make the recipe any less good. The listed cooking time is a little short though; there was no more pink meat but it didn't exactly fall of the bones either. Next time I might try transferring the skillet to the oven for the simmering phase.
