Chicken Fra Diavolo

Posted February 11, 2010 by Marc Gottlieb
If you're using chicken without skin, brown in 1/4 cup of oil. Otherwise, enough fat should render from the skin to suffice when browning the onions and chicken. In the summer, use fresh chopped tomato concasse. In the winter, use a can of crushed tomatoes. If the sauce cooks down too much, add more wine.
