I've cleaned the inside of my tank at some of the places I've lived.
Sometimes it gets really mucky in there. Sometimes not. Not sure what
causes it.

It is probably mostly particles of dirt from your water supply. Municipal water
is pretty clean, but there is still some stuff that gets through. I get water
from my well and the soil here is sandy loam, so there is a brownish sediment
that builds up rather quickly. Ever month or so I stir it up and give a few
flushes to purge it from the tank.

There is a scum that builds up in there, especially if that
toilet doesn't get used often. Bacteria in the air get in there
and breed, and can get slimey. Many toilet tanks have green
stains inside the porcelain tanks from mildew and such.

I still don't see that this has to do with chicken legs ;-)

It added to the nice, crispy, chewy breading. I think the key is to use more
flour mix than I have in the past, and to make sure the pieces are dry on
the outside before you put them in the oil. They were more "oven-fried"
than baked. Had I baked them at a lower initial temp, it would have been
like glue.

The mind "boogles"???
Wasn't that a word game we used to play?

Maybe you should just go away until you learn to play nice and maybe spell a
little better.

I happen to like chicken legs, and think they are well worth the trouble.

their legs behind...............
