Ingredients

8 small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 cup dry white wine

One 26.46-ounce carton chopped tomatoes, such as Pomi

Two 3.8-ounce cans sliced black olives, drained

1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves

3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large braiser or high-sided saute pan oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon butter along with the onions, garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by about half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, oregano and the remaining tablespoon butter and bring to a simmer; season with salt and pepper.
  4. Nestle the chicken in the sauce skin-side-up and transfer to the oven. Bake until the chicken is just cooked through, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.

Made this for dinner tonight. So delicious and easy. I made spaghetti and added it to the sauce while the chicken rested, fantastic! We have leftover sauce which we are going to use with some homemade meatballs for a fast weeknight meal!
