How to Make Chicken Scarpariello

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Rinse and thoroughly dry 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown on all sides. This will take about 6-8 minutes per batch.
  5. Remove the browned chicken pieces to a plate and set aside.
  6. Pour off all but 1-2 tablespoons of the oil from the skillet, leaving the browned bits behind.
  7. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 4 cloves garlic, minced, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  8. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the wine reduces by half, about 2 minutes.
  9. Add 1 cup chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  10. Add 2 sprigs fresh rosemary to the sauce.
  11. Return the chicken pieces to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  13. Remove the chicken to a warmed platter and set aside.
  14. Bring the remaining sauce to a boil. Stir in 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  15. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon softened butter.
  16. Add 2 tablespoons butter to the sauce in the skillet and stir until melted.
  17. Remove the rosemary sprigs from the sauce.
  18. If the sauce is too thin, gradually whisk in the flour-butter mixture until it reaches your desired consistency.
  19. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  20. Pour the sauce over the chicken on the platter and serve immediately.
