Pepperoncini Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450° degrees. Wash chicken and pat it dry. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes together. Sprinkle half the mixture over the skin side of each piece. In a roasting pan or shallow casserole dish, add oil and place in oven to heat. Add the chicken pieces, skin side down. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the top of the pieces. Cook until the chicken pieces are golden (about 15 minutes). Turn chicken over and add green pepper and pepperoncini. Cook until chicken is done and green pepper strips are soft. (Chicken tastes better when it is very golden, be careful not to dry it out though.) Remove pan from oven and squeeze fresh lemon halves over chicken. Transfer chicken, peppers, and pepperoncini into large serving dish. Pour juice from pan over the top.

Steps:

• Layer whole pepperoncini on the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle the olive slices and garlic on top of the peppers.
