Vejledning

Step 1

Pat chicken thighs dry. Season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, brown beef sausage pieces until caramelized. Set aside with the chicken.

Step 3

Lower heat slightly. Add smashed garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add red onion and both bell peppers. Sauté until the vegetables soften and caramelize slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in hot cherry peppers and their brine. Pour in apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, and honey, scraping up browned bits from the pan.

Step 5

Return chicken and sausage to skillet. Sprinkle rosemary and oregano. Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until chicken is tender and cooked through.

Step 6

Uncover and let sauce reduce slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with crusty bread, roasted potatoes, or creamy polenta to soak up the sauce.
