Delicious dish of chicken, sausage, peppers and potatoes
YOU will need a large, heavyduty roasting pan (or a couple of smaller ones) and a very hot oven for this delicious dish. The long oven time makes everything beautifully caramelised and the chicken fork tender.
Ingredients
1. Four large links hot Italian sausage
2. Two tablespoons olive oil, divided
3. Six bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4. Half pound assorted sweet peppers, seeded
5. One small red onion, sliced
6. Half yellow onion, sliced
7. Four large yukon gold potatoes, quartered
8. Two teaspoons dried Italian herbs
9. Two teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
10. Freshly ground black pepper to taste
11. One tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
Directions
◆ Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230
degrees C).
◆ Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage links until browned and oil begins to render, about three minutes per side. While sausages are cooking, pierce them lightly here and there with the tip of a sharp knife so some fats and juices are released. Remove from
heat and let cool slightly.
◆ When sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into serving pieces, about 2-inch slices. Transfer back to pan along with any accumulated juices from the cutting board. ◆ Cut two slashes down to the bone on the skin side of each chicken thigh.
◆ Depending on the size of the peppers, halve or quarter them and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced red and yellow onions and potato chunks. Add chicken thighs and sausage pieces with pan juices. ◆ Season with kosher salt, black pepper and Italian herbs. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.
◆ Mix with your hands until all ingredients are coated in oil, three or four minutes. Transfer to large, heavyduty roasting pan. Evenly space the chicken thighs skin side up. Position potatoes near the top.
◆ Place in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and everything is caramelised, about one hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with chopped fresh Italian parsley, if desired.
