Ingredients

  • 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1/4 medium onion
  • 4 ounces cremini mushrooms (about 2 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine
  • 1/3 cup pitted nioise or kalamata olives, plus 1 tablespoon brine from the jar

Directions

Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Place skin-side up in a shallow baking pan and roast until the skin is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, pulse the bacon, onion, mushrooms and rosemary in a food processor until finely chopped. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable mixture and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes.

Puree the tomatoes in the food processor. Add the wine to the skillet and boil, uncovered, until almost completely reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pureed tomatoes and return to a boil. Reduce the heat, partially cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the olives and brine and season with salt and pepper. Serve the chicken with the sauce.

    Great earthly flavor. I only had pureed San Marzano tomatoes at home, but they worked just as well. My husband loved this dish and I will definitely be making it again.
