CHICKEN FRA DIAVOLO INGREDIENTS:
3-4 pounds chicken thighs - trimmed of excess fat and patted very dry
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
salt and pepper - to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
3 Long Hot peppers - seeded and chopped
10 cloves garlic - rough chopped
3 ounces tomato paste
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper - NOTE: taste test Long Hots before adding
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (28) ounce can plum tomatoes - hand crushed or blender pulsed
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons parsley - minced
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375f and set the rack to the middle level.
2. Heat a large oven-safe pan to medium heat. Pat the chicken very dry with paper towels and season with oregano, salt, and pepper on all sides. Place 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the pan and sear the chicken skin side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 more minutes. Place cooked chicken in a plate and set aside. Work in batches and do not crowd the pan while searing.
3. When finished cooking the chicken turn the pan to medium-low and add the remaining olive oil and peppers. Cook for 5 minutes or until soft, then add in the garlic and cook for a few more minutes or until golden. Once golden add the crushed red pepper flakes.
4. Next, add the tomato paste and cook for 5 more minutes stirring frequently. Then, add the wine and turn the heat to medium-high. Using a wooden spoon scrape the bottom to dislodge all of the brown bits. After 3 minutes add the plum tomatoes and the lemon juice and stir together.
5. Season the sauce with salt then place the chicken thighs into the pan skin side up and bake in the oven until cooked through. About 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165f.
6. Remove the chicken once fully cooked and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with grated cheese and crusty bread to mop up all of the sauce. Enjoy!

I should have cooked the thighs to 175-180f, but I was impatient. I didn't look impatient though, right?

I love your videos because you don't dumb anything down but you also don't ever get too technical. You also don't spend too much time trying to make your videos anything other than a cooking a meal. No flashy edits that come across as pretentious. Keep up the great work.

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! I tried those edits when I first started and realized that's just not me or my personality. I like being myself, so that nobody can ever catch me in a lie or anything if that makes sense lol.

[@MHarenArt]

Thighs are my favorite part of the bird. Always tender, never dry. Beautiful recipe! Thanks for sharing.

[@SipandFeast]

Thighs are my favorite too!

[@idchance2699]

I love that you use nearly whole garlic cloves in the recipe; they become so sweet and tasty when cooked down. Also appreciate your demonstrating techniques to prevent contamination -- so few cooking shows do that. especially when dealing with raw chicken or pork.

I might experiment putting everything in one day. I am considering doing 15 minute dishes with a stop watch counter in real time. No editing for me, so that sounds great lol.

[@RickElphinstone]

Made this recipe tonight, exactly as shown, and it was EASILY the best Italian dish I've eaten in years. Hands down, the dish was restaurant quality. My family loved it, and we're already looking to use the sauce to make shrimp fra diavolo and even a veal parmigiana fra diavolo. Can not WAIT to try another recipe of yours!

[@SipandFeast]

That sounds great with the veal parm. Glad you enjoyed it!

Another very well prepared and presented recipe. Thanks. I use chicken thighs all the time. Love 'em.

[@SipandFeast]

They are pretty much my go-to. I like both skin-on and boneless-skinless. Depends on the dish.

[@Thommadura]

If you really like Chicken Thighs - try this - Sweet and sour Thighs. I make them in a 1/2 Aluminum Steam pan. GET * thighs and trim them as normal. Put 1/2 bottle of Chinese sweat and sour sauce (From your Food store) in the bottom of the pan. put in Thighs and Pour I regular can of Pineapple over that with juice - any shape will be fine. Cover with foil and cook at 375 Degrees for about an hour, 15 minutes. NOW THIS IS THE HARD PART - take the cover off and if the chicken is all submerged - remove some of the liquid until the chicken shows. Raise the heat to 425 and put the chicken back into the oven uncovered to Brown. (!5-20 minutes). Sometimes I will also add a Corn Starch Slurry (2tbsp Water and I tbsp corn starch) to thicken the sauce before returning to the oven. THAT's it = tastes great.

[@cynthiaking4281]

This is an exciting recipe that I can’t wait to make. My daughter and her friends will love this because some like it hot. I grew up in an Italian family in Chicago, now living in the Great Northwest. Finding Italian ingredients isn’t easy. Over the years I’ve learned to adjust. The outdoor hiking and camping ⛺️ are a worthwhile trade off.

[@rrialb9371]

I made this tonight; it was so delicious! Rather than discard all the fat trimminings from the thighs, I initially threw them in along with the thighs and rendered them down to cracklins. Flipped them and removed them when the thighs were done and discarded them (ate some, the crispy ones were AMAZING!). Didn't need to add additional Olive Oil because the trimmed off skin and fat I had rendered made up. So Good, thank you, keep inspiring us!!!

[@SipandFeast]

Glad you enjoyed it and good use of the skin!

You introduced me to Calabrian peppers. I use them all the time now instead of chili pepper flakes. It adds nice heat with a little more interesting flavor.

Love the channel, Long Island boy living overseas for the past 11yrs, love hearing the LI accent. You use parsley quite a bit, IMO parsley is the iceberg lettuce of herbs :) I'd sooner add basil and add it sooner or later in the cooking process depending on how prevalent I want a basil taste.

I've been watching this guy for years. He is very good at talking you through any recipe no matter how difficult you might think it is. Also, 165º is not enough for thighs IMO. 180-190 makes them fall apart tender every time and never dryed out either.
