   • If desired, marinate the chicken in the sauce before grilling or baking.
   • Loosen the chicken skin to ensure the sauce can penetrate and flavor the meat.
   • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken legs.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a bowl, mix together ketchup, white wine, minced garlic, and dried basil. Adjust seasoning to taste.

3. Grilling/Baking:

   • Grilling Method:
     • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
     • Place the chicken on the grill and brush both sides generously with the prepared sauce.
     • Grill the chicken until fully cooked, turning occasionally and basting with the sauce throughout to enhance the flavor. This should take about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
   • Baking Method:
     • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
     • Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour the sauce over it.
     • Bake uncovered until the chicken is done, typically about 30 minutes or until the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through.

4. Serving:

   • Serve the Herb-Tomato Grilled Chicken hot, accompanied by extra warm sauce for dipping or drizzling.
