- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 3-4 medium-size red potatoes, quartered

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉.
- In a tablespoon of olive oil, brown the sausage on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In the same pan, add two tablespoons of olive oil and brown the chicken skin-side down for about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate once browned.

- Combine chicken stock, cherry pepper brine, sliced cherry peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, and quartered potatoes into the pan. Simmer for about 2 minutes. Nestle the chicken and sausage into the sauce.
- Cover with a lid and roast in the oven at 425℉ for 20 minutes, then uncover and roast for another 15 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 185-195F.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the chicken, sausage, and potatoes with sauce.
Notes
For added flavor, let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the sauce to soak into the ingredients.
Feel free to substitute other types of sausage according to your taste.
Pair with a fresh salad or crusty bread to complement the meal.
