Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken bone-in pieces (such as thighs, drumsticks, or a mix)
- 1.5 pounds potatoes peeled and cut into wedges
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup frozen peas (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to develop a golden color.
- Add the white wine, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the potatoes. Pour any accumulated juices from the chicken over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. The chicken’s internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- If desired, during the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the frozen peas over the dish to warm them up.
- Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the Chicken Vesuvio hot, garnished with the optional peas, and enjoy!
