Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs for 5-7 min per side until golden-brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add Italian sausage and sauté over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside with chicken.
  3. Add chopped onion, sliced red bell pepper, and minced garlic to skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and the onion becomes translucent.
  4. Stir in sliced pickled cherry peppers and pickling juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until flavors meld.
  5. Pour in dry white wine and deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce for about 2 minutes.
  6. Add chicken stock and return seared chicken and browned sausage to the skillet. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until chicken is tender and sauce has thickened.
  7. Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Garnish with chopped parsley and optional red chili flakes before serving.
