Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pat the chicken pieces dry and season generously with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, 4 to 5 more minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Add the potatoes, onion, and garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is translucent and the potato wedges are nicely browned on the cut sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Pour the wine into the skillet and cook until reduced by half, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.

Return the potatoes, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Stir in the chicken stock, parsley, and Italian seasoning. Set the chicken pieces on top and cover with an oven-safe lid.

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink at the bone, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Move the skillet back to the stove and remove the chicken and vegetables, leaving the liquid, then bring it to a simmer. Add the butter and stir until smooth, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the peas and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve the chicken over the potato wedges and garnish with the pan sauce and peas.
