Instructions
  1. Generously season the bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with salt and pepper, allowing to rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down for 5-7 minutes, then flip and sear the other side for another 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, brown the Italian sausage for about 4-5 minutes until crispy. Remove and place with the chicken.
  4. Sauté chopped onion, sliced red bell pepper, and minced garlic in the skillet for 3-5 minutes until vegetables soften.
  5. Stir in the pickled cherry peppers and their juice, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Deglaze pan with ½ cup of dry white wine, scraping up brown bits. Let simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and return chicken and sausage to the skillet. Simmer covered for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
  8. Remove from heat and let rest. Garnish with parsley and chili flakes before serving.
