CHICKEN GIAMBOTTA RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Bake sausage in oven 500, until crisp and brown, then cut up in pieces. Saute chicken breasts in a bit of olive oil, covered with salt and pepper, add with smashed garlic cloves, until brown and crisp in pot. Remove when crispy. Garlic can get very brown, but remove with chicken so it doesn't burn totally. In same pot, with a bit more olive oil, saute peppers, and onions, then add wine, broth, a bit of the cherry pepper juice, hot red pepper flakes. Back into the pot, add sausage, a few cherry peppers, and chicken back into pot. Let simmer a bit. Meanwhile, I cut up potatoes with skin on, in chunks and bake in oven with some olive oil, salt and pepper until very crispy. Right before serving I put crisp potatoes in. Can be made ahead of time, and reheated.

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage links until browned and oil begins to render, about 3 minutes per side. While sausages are cooking, pierce them lightly here and there with the tip of a sharp knife so some fats and juices are released. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• When sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into serving pieces, about 2-inch slices. Transfer back to pan along with any accumulated juices from the cutting board.
• Cut two slashes down to the bone on the skin side of each chicken thigh.
• Depending on the size of the peppers, halve or quarter them and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced red and yellow onions and potato chunks. Add chicken thighs and sausage pieces with pan juices.
• Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.
• Mix with your hands until all ingredients are coated in oil, 3 or 4 minutes. Transfer to large, heavy-duty roasting pan. Evenly space the chicken thighs skin side up. Position potatoes near the top.
• Place in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and everything is caramelized, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with chopped fresh Italian parsley, if desired.
