Chicken fra diavolo Chicken fra diavolo

Fra diavolo sauce normally accompanies seafood. Tradition aside, I see no good reason why it can't work with a different type of protein, such as chicken. And so I tried it. Happily, I can report that it worked out really well. The chicken thighs soaked up the flavours of the sauce nicely, and the final dish was spicy, tangy, hearty, and delicious.

This is more of a tip than a recipe. I hope you find it useful. I always try different methods and/or tricks to get a crispy skin in the oven. This was by far the best and healthiest!
