How to Make Chicken Scarpariello Roast Chicken In Lemon Wine

  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, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Rinse and pat dry 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and/or breasts (about 2 lbs total). Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they're lightly coated.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken pieces well on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Remove the browned chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  6. Pour off excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon of oil and the browned bits at the bottom.
  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 cup dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
  9. Add 1 cup chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  10. Add 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, and stir to combine.
  11. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
  13. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a warmed platter. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the sauce to a boil.
  14. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  15. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon softened butter.
  16. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the sauce and stir until melted and combined.
  17. Remove the rosemary sprigs from the sauce.
  18. If the sauce is too thin, gradually whisk in small amounts of the flour-butter mixture until desired consistency is reached.
  19. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
  20. Pour the sauce over the chicken on the platter.
  21. Serve immediately.
