Chicken Vesuvio

Chicken Vesuvio is a specialty of Chicago and an Italian-American dish of bone-in chicken sautéed with potato wedges, garlic, oregano, white wine and olive oil, then baked until the chicken skin turns crisp, often garnished with green peas. Its precise origin is unclear: one account credits the Vesuvio Restaurant on Wacker Drive in 1930s Chicago with popularizing it, while another points to similar chicken preparations found in the traditional cuisines of southern Italy. The same cooking technique is also applied in Chicago cuisine to steak, pork chops, and potatoes served on their own.
