Instructions
  1. Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a large pot on medium-high heat, add sausage and cook until browned all over, 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage to a plate, season chicken legs with pepper, add to pot and brown for 2-3 minutes on all sides, Transfer to plate with sausage.

Notes
Depending on the sausage you use, your dish will probably have plenty of salt. If you chose to omit it, you might want to season your chicken with salt. Adjust to taste as needed.
