So delicious 😋😋
I thought chicken vesuvio always has peas.
This is the best recipe out of all! My fam loves the lemon in it! I like chicken breast they like the thighs.
Hello! Thank you for this recipe. I've ordered the Vesuvio Potatoes via The Italian Village, Chicago. Now I will order the Chicken with it until I can master this classic recipe. All of you are seasoned "Pros" & "Winners" no doubt, so I will turn to you for advice. Grazie!
Looks yummy!
Is there a certain brand of white wine that is used?
This is something my mother used to make when I was a kid. She grew up on Taylor st westside of Chicago
Made it tonight. What a Winner!!!
I'm making it right now. I don't have parsley hope basil will do. Chicken Vesuvio in California. I didn't get gravy but grease and burnt bits but the potatoes and chicken are delicious.
I can't wait to try this! I love ATK!
I’m gonna make this !! May I come over
i need a pan like that
T he test kitchen ruined one of the best recipes ever invented. I'll stick to making REAL chicken vesuvio.
Tasty recipe, but smoke and fire hazard for small kitchens
She is speack to fast
Y’all are smoking serious crack with this roasting pan method. EVERY SINGLE BIT OF CHICKEN SKIN DID NOTHING BUT STICK. Heat management is unpossible and my burners are too damn far apart. UGH I KNOW IM JUST SCREAMING INTO THE VOID. But it was neccessary. The recipe is delicious conpleted in some sort of cast iron vessel, but sweet babby jeebus stop telling folk to use a roasting pan
That’s amazing!
Nope. Call me on how to make
No peas? That's not chicken vesuvio. Chicago natives know peas are essential to vesuvio.
I made this dish last night and can tell you all that it was a hit. The flavors are surprisingly complex and it was fairly easy to make, although I had a lot of splattering on the stovetop to clean up. Since I'm cooking for two now, I will try it in a large skillet next time since there was a bit too much room in my large roasting pan for the five chicken thighs and four potatoes that I used. The pan sauce was great and there were no leftovers! Thanks for the recipe!
Peas????
The video lost me immediately when they used the wrong potatoes
Where are the peas?
Yum 😋 looks amazing
Chicago Chicken Vesuvio has green peas.
Hello!
Where's the peas? The potatoes should be cut in wedges not in half..lol. This is not Chicago Chicken Vesuvio.
Imagine leaving peas out and still calling it chicken vesuvio smh
Born and raised in Chicago and this is not the Chicken Vesuvio that we have here. Maybe the flavor will be ok, but we serve it with peas and the potatoes are supposed to be sliced in wedges.
I live in Chicago and love Chicken Vesuvio, The Italian Village which claims to have invented it serves it with peas in the sauce. Absolutely delicious, thank you 😊 🇮🇹
