Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Scarpariello

Begin by patting your bone-in chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of olive oil and heat until shimmering. Sear the chicken skin-side down for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
In the same skillet, add chunks of Italian sausages and brown them for about 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Lower the heat and add smashed garlic cloves to the residual oil. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce.
Add the chicken broth, vinegar, pickled cherry peppers, and their brine. Toss in the oregano and rosemary, then return the chicken and sausages to the skillet.
Increase the heat slightly to bring to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Stir in a dollop of butter for richness and serve hot.

Notes

Keeping the chicken skin above the sauce while simmering helps maintain its crispy texture. High-quality olive oil significantly enhances the flavor.
