Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides and let sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Flip the thighs and sear the other side for an additional 5 minutes, then remove the chicken from the skillet.
  4. Add sliced Italian sausage to the skillet and cook over medium heat until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Scoop out the sausage, leaving drippings behind.
  5. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then add bell and hot cherry peppers, sautéing for 5-7 minutes.
  6. Pour in half a cup of white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add chicken broth, cherry pepper vinegar, lemon juice, and oregano to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let simmer for 2 minutes.
  8. Return seared chicken thighs and sausage to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for approximately 25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  9. Uncover and cook for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce, stirring occasionally.
