Janie, I just saw a thing on TV about those chickens. Can't remember the show. Any way the chickens were breed for breast size. They got so large the chicken's legs could not hold them up. The legs were small and really tough. CF:)

They were really giving me grieft over the tough chicken and I told them it was those chickens :o I remember Mom's chickens just collapsing to the ground. The next year when we got baby chicks she made sure she did not buy that type again.
She had one big red rooster for years that was really mean. I took her to town one day and when we pulled back in the driveway Dad had her rooster tied to the clothes line upside down by his feet ready to kill him. Mom flew outta that truck and told him if he did it he was next lol. He gave her back her rooster.

But I hope to get plenty of good cooking done over the next several days, since I'm just gonna be hanging around the place and not really going anywhere, or doing anything extravagant at all. This dish just might be one of the ones I make! Love me some yard bird thighs/legs! 
Let me know how it comes out please.
I made this today and it is very good. Will be repeating it. I used smoked paprika in mine.
