Every once in a while you come across a recipe that has hotly contested origins, and a name that sorta says it’s from a certain region of the world… Chicken Scarpariello is one of those Chicken dinner recipes. It’s not really Italian cooking; it’s vaguely an Italian recipe, but it’s whatever you want it to be.At it’s heart it’s a braised chicken and sausage recipe with vegetables and hot peppers. You can put pretty much any veg that you want in here, any chicken parts that you like (though chicken thighs are best), any sausage - or no sausage at all. Recipes don’t need to be wrapped up in dogma, try it, make changes, make it your own!Our Axe Night Suppers Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgOb3zseg1hTWBhBsybGt3mOjV0JchK1AIngredients:4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighsCoarse salt and freshly ground black pepper1 Tbsp (15 mL) oil - we use saved bacon or chicken fat4-6 hot Italian sausage, cut up1 medium onion, thinly sliced1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced - 300g2 cups (500 mL) sliced mushrooms - 250g10 - 12 baby potatoes quartered - 300g2 Tbsp (30 mL) fresh sage, minced 4-6 cloves garlic, smashed8 hot pickled peppers1/4 cup (60 mL) pickling liquid from the jar1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine1 cup (250 mL) chicken stockMethod:Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
