Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, finely minced
• 2 pieces red chili peppers, thinly sliced
• 1 cup roasted red bell peppers, chopped
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken stock
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and sear them for 5–6 minutes until the skin is golden-brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, red chili flakes, and sliced red chili peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Stir in the roasted red bell peppers and cook for another minute.

Step 7

Deglaze the pan by adding the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 8

Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, and rosemary sprigs. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken simmer for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 11

Remove and discard the rosemary sprigs. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt, if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with crusty bread, pasta, or a side of roasted vegetables.
