Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper and add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil to the cold skillet. Add the chicken, skin side down, and place the pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken, undisturbed for 8-10 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- While the chicken cooks. Add the halved potatoes, sliced red onion, Mezzetta® Golden Greek Peperoncini, garlic, oregano and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss everything together to combine.
- Flip the chicken and snugly arrange the potato mixture around the chicken. Pour in the reserved Mezzetta® Golden Greek Peperoncini brine and transfer the skillet to the oven to roast for 40-45 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and place the skillet over medium heat and cook until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, roughly 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken back to the skillet and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Enjoy!
