Ingredients

  • 8 – 10 pieces of chicken, legs and thighs skin on or whole chicken cut in 10 pieces
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 garlic chopped
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary/5 leaves basil/5 leaves sage (optional, I had it fresh in the garden)
  • 1 ib fresh cherry tomatoes or 1 can of cherry tomatoes
  • 2/3 cup white wine
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step1#-Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken pieces and let it sit.
  2. Step#2-In a large sauté pan on high heat add your oil.
  3. Step#3-When the oil is hot place your chicken skin down and lets it sear to creating a golden color.
  4. Step#4-Turn your chicken and do the same on the other side and add your chopped onion and stir, caramelize the onions but do not burn.
  5. Step#5-Add your chopped garlic and continue stirring.
  6. Step#6-Once it’s all a beautiful golden color add your white wine and let it evaporate. You can now add the rosemary, basil, sage, and tomatoes.
  7. Step#7-Once the tomatoes start bubbling lower your flame.
  8. Step#8-Place a wooden spoon on top of the pot and gently cover with the lid. Always leave a little space for the steam to escape making your sauce delicious.
  9. Step#9-Cook for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
    1. Step#10-The sauce from the cacciatore can be used over penne paste or with lots of Italian bread to do a delicious Scarpetta.
