Chicken Scarpariello with Pickled Peppers



Ingredients
4 (4-ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 (4-ounce) sweet Italian sausages
1/2 cup dry white wine 6 small garlic cloves, gently smashed
3 oregano sprigs
2 cups lower-sodium chicken broth
2 cups mixed jarred pickled peppers (such as peperoncini, peppadews, and sweet cherry peppers)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves 
Crusty bread, for serving

Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high. Add chicken, skin side down, and sausages; cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cook time. Transfer chicken and sausages to a plate; carefully pour out and discard excess drippings from skillet. (Do not wipe skillet clean.)

Add wine, garlic, and oregano sprigs to skillet; cook over medium-high, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of skillet, until wine is nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes.

Add broth to skillet; bring to a boil over high. Carefully nestle chicken and sausages in broth mixture; reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until chicken is tender and a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of thigh registers 165°F, about 25 minutes.

Stir pickled peppers into skillet mixture; cover and cook over low until hot, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with oregano leaves; serve with crusty bread.
