8 Bone-In, Skin On Chicken Thighs

½ Pound Assorted Sweet Peppers, Seeded

1 Small Red Onion, Chopped

1 Yellow Onion, Chopped

Step 2 Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage links until browned and oil begins to render, about 3 minutes per side. While sausages are cooking, pierce them lightly here and there with the tip of a sharp knife so some fats and juices are released. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3 When sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into serving pieces, about 2-inch slices. Transfer back to pan along with any accumulated juices from the cutting board.

Step 4 Cut two slashes down to the bone on the skin side of each chicken thigh.

Step 5 Depending on the size of the peppers, halve or quarter them and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced red and yellow onions. Add chicken thighs and sausage pieces with pan juices.

Step 6 Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7 Mix with your hands until all ingredients are coated in oil, 3 or 4 minutes. Transfer to large, heavy-duty roasting pan. Evenly space the chicken thighs skin side up.

Step 8 Place in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and everything is caramelized, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve over prepared rice and Sprinkle with chopped fresh Italian parsley, if desired.
