Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (or drumsticks)
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup baby potatoes (halved)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium or no sodium added)
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup jarred pickled cherry peppers (halved)
  • ½ cup brine from the cherry peppers
  • 2 medium red bell peppers (sliced, optional)
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary (or thyme)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes.
  3. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and sear skin-side down in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
  4. Brown Italian sausage in the same skillet until just cooked through, then remove and set aside.
  5. Add chopped onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  6. Pour in white wine, scrape bottom of the pan, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
  7. Add chicken broth, red wine vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, pickled cherry peppers, pepper brine, sliced bell peppers, and rosemary. Stir to combine.
  8. Transfer chicken, sausage, and sauce onto the baking sheet with the roasted potatoes, spreading evenly.
  9. Return to oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
  10. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with crusty bread or pasta, adding lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate chicken thighs in olive oil, garlic, and oregano for a few hours before cooking. Customize by adding different vegetables or swapping Italian sausage for chorizo.
