3 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in with skin (about 6 thighs)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 large bell pepper, multicolored, cut into strips
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence or an Italian blend
6 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup dry white wine
8 to 12 hot or sweet whole pickled Peppadew peppers or pepperoncini, or a mixture of both, with 1/4 cup of the pickling liquid
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Pat the chicken thighs with paper towels to dry.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs skin side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and crisp, about 7 to 8 minutes, turn and cook for 3 minutes longer. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Add the sausages to the pan and reduce the heat to medium; cook for about 4 minutes, turning once. Remove the sausages to a cutting board and slice each sausage into 2 or 3 pieces. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the pan and place it over medium-high heat; cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the herbes de Provence and garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the wine and cook, scraping up any brown residue in the pan. Cook until the wine has reduced by about half, about 2 minutes.
Add the pickled peppers with 1/4 cup of their liquid.
Add chicken stock and sugar; stir and bring to a simmer.
Return sausage to the pan and return the chicken, skin-side up.
Return the chicken and sausages to the pan, nestling them into the into the vegetables.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
