Steps:

• Coat a large, wide pan with olive oil and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the sausage and brown well. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and reserve.
• Season the chicken generously with salt and add to the pan that the sausage was browned in. Brown the chicken well. Once the chicken is brown on all sides, remove it from the pan and reserve.
• Drain the oil from the pan and return it to the heat. Coat the pan lightly with new olive oil, add the onions, and season with salt. Cook the onions over medium heat until they are translucent and very aromatic, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Add the wine to the pan and reduce it by half. While the wine is reducing, scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the sausage and chicken to the pan and add the cherry peppers, cherry pepper juice, chicken stock, and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for 5 more minutes; add more chicken stock if the stock has reduced too much.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. The finished dish should be slightly soupy, spicy, and delicious.

Steps:

• Spear the peppers with a kitchen fork or skewer and hold them over an open flame until charred all over. Place the charred peppers in a paper bag or in a covered container until they are cool enough to handle. (This step completes the cooking of the peppers and facilitates removing the skin.) Rub off the skins (never run them under water, which washes away the flavorful oils), cut the peppers in half lengthwise, and discard the stems and seeds. Cut the pepper halves into 1/4-inch wide strips and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and reserve.
• Add the sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. (Reduce the heat as needed to keep the skillet from burning.) Toss in the mushrooms and cook along with the sausage, stirring until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the peppers and stir in the flour. Cook for 1 minute, stir in the vinegar, broth and tomato sauce and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
• Return the sauteed chicken pieces to the skillet along with any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Cover the skillet and simmer gently, until the chicken is just cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to a warm serving platter. Return the skillet to the heat and reduce the liquid until it thickens to a sauce consistency, about 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sauce, mushrooms, peppers and sausage over the chicken. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix together the flour and oregano. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge in flour mixture.
• In a large, heavy, oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and brown the chicken on both sides. Then remove the chicken to a plate.
• Pour off oven pan juices to leave 2 tbsp of juice (with brown bits) in the pan. Add the onion and cook until soft, then add the garlic.
• As soon as garlic starts to sizzle, add the wine and scrape the pan to release brown bits. Over medium heat, reduce the wine by half.
• Add the chicken stock and bring to a bowl over high heat. Once boiling, add the chicken pieces and the rosemary to the skillet. Spoon some pan juices over the chicken, and put the skillet in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
• Just before cook time is over, mix the softened butter with the tablespoon of flour (to make a thickener).
• Remove skillet from oven, and move the chicken pieces from the skillet to a warmed platter. Bring the remaining sauce to a boil.
• Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Then add the flour-butter mixture plus the remaining two tablespoons butter. Remove rosemary and whisk the mixture until the flour-mixture is dissolved (no lumps).
• Once the sauce thickens, stir in the parsley, and pour the sauce over the chicken on the platter. Serve immediately.
