It's a Utica thing, Chicken Riggies, Utica Greens and Tomato Pie. Had them all at one time or another, 2nd generation Italian/American living 50 miles from Utica it's unavoidable ;o) They're good, but like anything else it depends on who makes them. I'm sure there's hundreds of variations. In fact I made fresh Polish sausage and riggies last night. No booze or cream - didn't have any :o( with left over marinara. Used hot water to release the "four letter word" from the pan. I did use a nub of butter and pasta water to finish the riggies in the sauce. Very good and there's just two of us so there's left overs. Lots of good things from Utica, like Utica Club brewery and its offsprings Matts and Saranac. Franklin Hotel and the Florinetine Bakery - fantastic pastry. Thanks to you and your family for welcoming us into your kitchen and cooking all these awesome dishes.

I love when the “taste tester” comes in. He tries to be all serious then he breaks into a smile (it’s obvious he loves your cooking) then back to being serious. Immediately followed by more smiles. And just as you pointed out Dad- his fork keeps shoveling in the food!

[@annieswanson9661]

I used to do this with my mom when I was younger! Of course it was before youtube days so we don’t have the blessing of having those moments recorded, so it’s beautiful to see another family share that same joy :)

[@aris1956]

I'm glad you said that. 👍 One of the fundamental rules of Italian cuisine, in preparing pasta, is…."It's not the pasta waiting for the sauce, but the sauce waiting for the pasta !". Unfortunately we often see, from various parts of the world, videos in which people cook pasta, then put it aside and then start preparing the sauce. Big mistake! Greetings from Italy ! 🇮🇹 👋

[@hstephenphillips260]

In Upstate NY we always serve Riggies with a side of Greens (Utica Greens), a saute of scarole and garlic. Would love to see you try those on this site as well! Love your show!

[@erockworldwide]

Great recipe. Good to see this getting coverage. I am from Binghamton and spent time in Utica, now live in Europe...and discovered this dish in the late 1990s in Utica of course. Folks from Utica say only cheese but no cream but this actually adds a neat texture...this was awesome! Some add mushrooms and/or olives but this simple way is the way I got to know it!

[@dumpl3dore]

I'm so happy that Utica is finally getting some respect. Back when I lived there it was treated like the red headed stepchild of New York. This is a wonderful dish which I have made for years. Treat yourself.

[@gregoryspina3929]

Perfectly done! if the cherry peppers are too hot, you can omit and add just a touch of red pepper flakes and white vinegar...it's the pickling of the peppers that gives this dish it's special taste.. this way you can control the heat, but approximate the flavor.....but it's way better with them in there!....upstate ny has so many wonderful, unique food offerings.....

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! I agree it's the flavor of the vinegar, less the heat, that gives the flavor.

[@infoscholar5221]

My roommate in college in Alabama taught me how to make "Chicken Wiggle," Which is a southern version of this. his dad was from NYC, his mom from Southern Alabam. It uses spiral pasta, pickled Jalapenos in lieu of the cherry peppers, a dash or two of hot sauce, and diced onion and some mixed veg. IT starts with stripping all the meat off a baked or broiled chicken.

[@charlesblithfield6182]

What I think can be learned from you, and it’s so important, is that a recipe is just a guide, not written in stone. Make do with what you’ve got. If you have awesome cherry peppers and cream go for it. If not it’s all okay. Cooking like this is giving, and a recipe is just a path toward that end.

I love how varied chicken riggies recipes can be. I`m from utica and almost every family has their own. Mine, for instance, makes an Alfredo sauce to add to the red sauce. We also coat our chicken in flour to help thicken the sauce, as well as add some parmesan and cream cheese at the end. Oh, and olives. Not saying mine is the best, just that there are so many variations to this beloved dish.

Dredging with flour actually sounds like an amazing idea.

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks so much, really appreciate that.

[@DanHeinrich-rg2hq]

The biggest debate on Riggies is cream vs no cream. I was a HUGE fan of the chesterfields recipe which didn’t use cream and instead used ~2 cups of Romano to give that creamy texture to the sauce. Personally I make a simple passata with puréed san marzanos, basil, and salt and use that in place of crushed tomatoes. I also roast the sweet peppers at 450 for 20 min and remove the flesh. I like it both ways with or without heavy cream but to each their own. Oh and you’re absolutely right about finding hot cherry peppers outside NY. They were everywhere in Syracuse but in Cleveland I have to use sweet cherry peppers and add Calabrian chili oil to get the heat while still getting the flavor of the cherry peppers

[@susskinsgamer]

Thank you for being genuine. Not snooty or pretentious. I really appreciate that. I have a question related to you refusing to use the OTHER f word. Do you have a similar dislike for the term deglazing? You have the best taste tester on all of KZbin.

[@Theupgradeguy]

I make something very close to this. Instead of the Cherry Peppers to add some spice, I cut up some Bridgford pepperoni into 'nickels' and call mine Chicken Pepperoni Rigatoni. The pepperoni adds another depth of flavor and is spicy without being too spicy. Try it sometime.

The sauce is actually good on a stuffed baked potato also. Sometimes for a quick dinner for just myself I'll just make a baked potato & top it with whatever leftover sauce or vegetable dish I may have in the fridge. It could be chili, beef stew, broccoli in cheese sauce & yes this sauce if I hadn't used it all with the pasta... The baked potato is a great way to use up leftovers IMHO...

@Sip and Feast the great thing about chicken riggies is that there's no one correct "authentic" way to make it! It's more of a genre than a specific dish. Every family has their own particular way to do it! You're aiming for something rich, tangy, flavorful, and a lil' spicy- if you hit that, you've made good chicken riggies!

Absolutely stunning ... I used plain yogurt rather than cream and added some capers to give it a little sharpness. Finishing the slightly under done pasta in the sauce at the end was inspired. I'll be serving this again.

I made this for tonight's dinner for the family and they loved it. The only difference in the way I prepped it was the addition of chopped up bacon which I browned first and then cooked the chicken in the bacon fat instead of olive oil. Love watching your recipes come to life. Oh, by the way, our local Harris Teeter here in Virginia had cherry peppers available in a jar. Pleasantly surprised...

We use minced garlic and onions and for a pound of riggies 3 or 4 peppers is more mild. Add some more cheese and garlic bread for dipping in the sauce mmmmmm.

I really enjoy your videos -from the soothing music to your recipes and delivery style. This is another winning pasta dish. In my opinion you should be on the Food Network.

Two things, you missed the onion cut into bit size pieces(sweet). For the cherry peppers it is nice to mix hot and sweet cherry pepper.
