Chicken Vesuvio

This is a popular 'Greek-esque' chicken recipe from Chicago. Super fragrant with potatoes, herbs and those little onions...it's all so good. Plus everything cooks in one pan, and that's always a bonus.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs, bone in & skin
  • Kosher salt and coarse ground pepper
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • Olive oil
  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, quartered lengthwise
