heavy skillet and fry chicken until golden brown and tender, about 7 minutes on

basil, oregano and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend well.
Combine tomato slices, green pepper and onion slices with dressing and mix
well. To serve, bring chicken wings to room temperature and arrange upright
over tomatoes in shallow casserole.
