A single-pan delight that harmoniously combines the robust flavor of chicken with the spicy zest of peperoncini peppers and the earthy comfort of potatoes. The extra flavor punch is secreted in the peperoncini brine that perfectly ties all the elements together.
Evenly sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
3
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Place the chicken thighs, skin side down, in the pan and cook undisturbed until the skin is browned, about 14-16 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes, peperoncinis, minced garlic, dried oregano, remaining salt, and pepper. Stir to mix well.

Flip the chicken thighs over in the skillet.

Add the potato-peperoncini mix to the skillet, fitting them around the chicken thighs.

Carefully pour the peperoncini brine around the edges of the pan, ensuring it distributes evenly.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the potatoes are tender, approximately 40-45 minutes.

Afterward, carefully remove skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken and peperoncini to a plate. Do not turn off the oven yet.

Place the skillet with the potatoes back onto high heat and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring often until the potatoes are coated in the pan drippings and glossy.
12
Remove skillet from heat, stir in the thinly sliced red onion, celery, and chopped parsley.
