Equipment

  • oven-safe skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
  • 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, skin side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add sliced onions and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
  • Add the potato wedges to the skillet and toss them with the onion and garlic mixture until coated.
  • Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken broth, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Nestle the seared chicken pieces back into the skillet, skin side up. Make sure the potatoes are submerged in the liquid.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
