Ingredients

3 to 4 pounds (1.4 to 1.8kg) bone-in, skin-on chicken legs, thighs and drumsticks split

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons (45ml) extra-virgin olive oil

2 medium (8-ounce; 225g) yellow onions, thinly sliced

½ lb. mushrooms, sliced or quartered

1 large (8-ounce; 225g) red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced

5 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced

3/4 cup (175ml) dry white wine

1 (28-ounce; 795g) can peeled whole tomatoes, drained and crushed by hand, plus 1/2 cup (120ml) reserved juices from can

2 sprigs fresh rosemary, sage, or thyme

1 bay leaf

Minced flat-leaf parsley, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Season chicken all over with salt and pepper.

In a Dutch oven or large straight-sided sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a platter as it finishes cooking and set aside.

Add onion, mushrooms, pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until softened, about 8 minutes.

Add wine and bring to a simmer.

Add tomatoes and reserved juices, along with herb sprigs and bay leaf. Return to a simmer.

Season with salt and pepper.

Nestle chicken and any accumulated juices into liquid and vegetables.

Transfer to oven and cook, uncovered, until chicken is fully cooked through and tender and sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, about 30 minutes.

Discard herb sprigs and bay leaf. Serve right away, garnishing with minced parsley if desired.
