MOM'S CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides, then toss them in a bowl with the flour to lightly coat.
• Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the thighs and cook until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. (Do this in batches if necessary.) Remove the thighs to a plate.
• Add the onion and mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened and the mushrooms are lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until the pepper is just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a boil, then cook, scraping up any browned bits, until reduced by about half. Add the oregano and rosemary. Add the tomatoes and their juices and bring to a simmer. Add the olives and capers.
• Return the chicken to the pot, nestling it in the sauce. Reduce the heat to keep the sauce at a gentle simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper and top with the basil.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, chile flakes, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the marinade in, coating all of the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to come up to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
