I designed this recipe for skinless pheasant legs, which can be cooked entirely on the stovetop. If you have skin-on legs, you can crisp the skin in at 375°F oven at the end. Obviously this will work with chicken, but it's also great with partridges or ruffed grouse as well. You could also use wild turkey thighs.
