Chicken Scarpariello isn't like other chicken dinners. This one packs a real punch of flavor without much effort. The dish is made of braised chicken thighs and hot (or sweet!) sausage swimming in a vinegary, kind of spicy broth. It's easy enough for a Tuesday night, but special enough to serve at a dinner party. Serve it over rice or alongside some roasted potatoes and sit down to your favorite meal.
