Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs patted dry
  • 1 lb sweet Italian sausage, sliced
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour for light dredging
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup sliced bell pepper any color
  • 3 tsp minced garlic
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 0.75 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 0.75 cup pickled cherry peppers, halved
  • 0.25 cup cherry pepper brine
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional heat
  • 1.25 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.75 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter for finishing
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, then lightly coat with flour; shake off excess.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown chicken skin-side down until golden; remove.
  • Brown sausage pieces in the same pan until nicely colored; transfer with chicken.
  • Add onion and bell pepper to the pan. Cook until softened and lightly browned.
  • Stir in garlic; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in white wine, scraping up browned bits; simmer until reduced by half.
  • Add broth, pepper brine, cherry peppers, oregano, rosemary, and red pepper flakes; bring to a simmer.
  • Return chicken and sausage, nestling into the sauce. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through.
  • Uncover and simmer a few minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Stir in lemon juice and butter; taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle parsley and serve.

Notes

Swap half the cherry peppers with peppadews for a sweeter kick, or add roasted potatoes to make it heartier. Leftovers keep 3 days refrigerated; rewarm gently with a splash of broth.
