Chicken Scarpariello (Braised Chicken With Sausage and Peppers) "shoemaker's chicken"

The Italian-American dish of chicken braised with sausage and peppers in a sweet-and-sour sauce is the perfect weeknight meal.

Deeply browning the chicken skin creates a crisp texture and rich flavor, building the dish’s savory base.
Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs stay tender and juicy, while the gelatin from connective tissue adds richness to the sauce.
Sweet bell peppers and tangy pickled cherry peppers, along with their brine, balance sweetness and tang for the dish’s signature flavor.
A final oven braise tenderizes the chicken and reduces the liquid into a velvety, aromatic sauce.
