Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs skin-on
  • 1 pound Italian sausage cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet, skin-side down. Brown the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the Italian sausage pieces and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside with the chicken.
  3. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
  5. Add the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, rosemary, thyme, and the browned chicken and sausage back into the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  7. Uncover and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add more red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño during the onion sauté.
  • Substitute the chicken thighs with boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner option, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
