Photo: Spicy Sicilian Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 red onions, cut into wedges
- 1/3 cup pitted oil-cured black olives
- 8 to 12 dried chiles, such as cayenne or arbol, broken in half
- 6 bay leaves
- 1 orange, halved
- 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
Directions
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Put the onions, olives, chiles and bay leaves on a rimmed baking sheet. Cut 1 orange half into wedges and add to the baking sheet.
Evenly space the chicken thighs, skin-side up, on the baking sheet on top of the other ingredients. Drizzle with the olive oil and squeeze the juice from the remaining orange half on top. Season with salt.
Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp and golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Serve the chicken with the onions, olives, oranges and pan juices.

I seasoned my chicken very well and added extra chilis and the dish was still bland. Like one user already said, the orange flavor was pretty much non-existent. I was expecting a very fragrant, flavorful dish and it was extremely disappointing. It wasn't bad, just...blah.

My family enjoyed it! I added some red pepper flakes and pepper to the chicken before baking since the previous reviewer thought it was under-seasoned. I agree that it would have been very bland without additional seasoning. Very yummy!
