Chicken Scarpariello
Makes 6 servings
16 Cut up Chicken Pieces
Salt & Pepper
¼ cup olive oil
½ pound Italian sausage cut into pieces
10 garlic cloves,chopped fine
4 pickled cherry peppers, cut in half, stems removed
¼ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup dry white wine
1 cup Chicken Stock (Canned is OK, but homemade is best)
Chopped fresh Italian parsley
Preheat oven to 475deg. F.
Wash and pat the chicken pieces dry,
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil
in a large skillet. Add as many
pieces of chicken, skin side down as
you can without them touching
Cook the chicken, turning as necessary,
until golden brown on all sides,
about 8 minutes.
Remove the chicken pieces as they brown
and drain them briefly on brown paper.
Place the drained chicken pieces in a
roasting pan large enough to hold
all of them in a single layer.
Repeat with the remaining chicken,
adding more oil to the pan as necessary
and adjusting the heat.
As room becomes available in the
skillet after all the chicken has been added,
tuck in pieces of sausage and
cook, until browned on all sides.
Remove all chicken and sausage from the pan,
add the garlic and cook until golden, being
careful not to burn it. Scatter the cherry peppers
into the skillet, season with salt and pepper
and stir for a minute. Pour in the vinegar and
bring to boil, scraping the browned bits that
stick to the skillet into the liquid and cook
until the vinegar is reduced by half. Add the white wine,
bring to a boil and boil until reduced by half,
about 3 minutes.
Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Pour the sauce over the
chicken in the roasting pan and stir to coat. Place
the chicken in the oven and roast, stirring occasionally,
until the sauce thickens, about 10 mins, stirring,
until it is reduced, about a minute or two. Once the sauce is
thickened, toss in parsley and serve.
