How To Make chicken vesuvio
-
Step 1Pat the chicken dry and generously season the skin side with salt and pepper; set aside.
-
Step 2In a large bowl, combine potatoes and pearl onions; drizzle on 1 to 2 tbsp. olive oil. Toss to coat before seasoning with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper; toss again and set aside.
-
Step 3In a 5-quart baking dish over medium heat, add 2 tbsp. oil and when hot, working in batches, add thighs, skin side down, and season the top generously with salt and pepper -might have to add another 2 tbsp. of oil if sticking to the dish.
-
Step 4Cook until golden on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Step 5Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
-
Step 6In the same skillet, add potato mixture and cook until golden, about 10 minutes, stirring often.
-
Step 7Add pressed garlic and sauté for only 1 minute.
-
Step 8Transfer the ingredients to a bowl and set them aside.
-
Step 9Add wine and deglaze the dish by scraping the bottom to dislodge any brown bits.
-
Step 10Add broth and lemon juice. Stir to blend before returning potato mixture and thighs, skins side up, including any accumulated juices.
