Take the chicken legs and wash them in a bowl with floating water. Then dry them a bit with a kitchen towel or strong kitchen paper. Cover them with some salt. Then put a wide pan on medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and add the chicken legs. Brown them on both sides, this will take around 7/8 minutes. When both sides are browned take the chicken out of the pan. Then in the same pan add garlic, rosemary, sage and anchovies. After a few minutes add the chicken again, the white wine and the vinegar, let it evaporate a bit for about 5 minutes. Then add the olives and cover the pan with a lid on top. Leave simmering for 1,5/ 2 hours until the chicken meat is very soft and almost falling of it’s bones. Now add a knob of butter, to make the sauce more creamy.
