Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear chicken skin-side down for 6-8 minutes.
  3. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest.
  4. In the same skillet, add sausage and cook over medium heat until browned, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Remove sausage and set aside. Sauté smashed garlic in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Deglaze with white wine, scraping up brown bits, and let it reduce for about 2 minutes.
  7. Add broth, vinegar, cherry peppers, brine, oregano, and rosemary into the skillet; stir to combine.
  8. Return chicken and sausage to the pan, ensuring chicken skin remains above the sauce. Simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
  9. Stir in butter before serving. Discard rosemary sprig.
