Ingredients

  • 6-8 bone-in and with skin chicken thighs
  • Fine sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, enough to coat a sauté pan
  • 4-6 links of Italian sausage (hot or sweet), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2-2 pounds fingerling or Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into large pieces
  • 8-10 pepperoncini, reserve liquid
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2-1 cup reserved pepperoncini liquid
  • 1 cup chicken stock

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. 
  3. Coat the surface of a sauté pan with extra-virgin olive oil and place over medium to high heat.  Place chicken skin side down and cook until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Turn and cook for a few minutes on the other side.  Add sausage and cook until browned. Remove the meat to a plate.
  4. Add onion to pan and cook until it begins to brown. Add garlic and cook until it become fragrant.  Add potatoes, bell pepper and pepperoncini and cook a few minutes to coat well with olive oil. Add wine, pepperoncini liquid and stock then bring to a boil. Cook a couple of minutes and then transfer everything, including the meat, to a roasting pan, in a single layer.
  5. Place in oven and cook, uncovered, for 45-60 minutes.
