Chicago-Style Chicken Vesuvio with Potatoes and Peas
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    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).

  7. 7

    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.
