Ingredients

8 chicken thighs with skin and bone (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, seeded, diced (about 3 cups)
1/3 cup dry white wine
4 anchovy fillets, minced
1/3 cup Niçoise olives, pitted, or 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted, halved
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves or purple basil leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped drained capers

  1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add chicken, skin side down. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Pour off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons drippings. Cool skillet 2 minutes; return to low heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes and wine.
