Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towel and season well with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In batches, sear each chicken piece until browned on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side and then place them into a side plate. Make sure you don't overload the pan!
- Once all the chicken is browned and out of the pan, add the remaining Tablespoon of oil (only if needed) and then add sliced onion and smashed garlic.
- Season them with salt and pepper to taste and saute them stirring constantly for a minute or two.
- Next, add the wine to the pan and scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan.
- After the wine has simmered for a minute or two, add broth and tomato paste. Stir well to combine and add the chicken pieces back into the pan. Bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for an hour, stirring periodically. If it starts to dry out, add a little water (I didn't run into this issue). Serve immediately after the hour is up.

Steps:
- Put the oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook undisturbed, adjusting the heat so the chicken doesn't burn, until the pieces are browned on the bottom and release easily from the skillet, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking, turning the chicken every few minutes, until it's brown all over, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
- Add the onions and capers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes; cook until the mixture starts to bubble and the tomatoes thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and let the mixture bubble for another 2 minutes.
- Add the olives and thyme, and return the chicken to the skillet, nestling the pieces into the sauce. Adjust the heat so the liquid bubbles gently but steadily, then cover the skillet. Cook, turning the chicken every 10 minutes or so and adding a splash of stock or water if the sauce looks too dry, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 155 to 165). Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the parsley, and serve.
