Arrabbiata is a popular Italian tomato sauce, the name of which can be translated as "evil" due to its spiciness. The sauce's main ingredients are tomatoes, red pepper, garlic, and olive oil, while a splash of white wine and chicken broth enhances its flavor. To prepare this dish, chicken thighs are first pan-fried until golden brown on all sides, then finished in arrabbiata sauce. Serve with a juicy side of blanched broccolini (small broccoli on long stems) and toasted ciabatta slices topped with melted provolone cheese.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

  • 8 chicken thighs with skin and bones (about 1.1 kg)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until golden brown on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and discard any excess fat.
  2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Add the thighs, skin side up, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to broil. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; drain. Arrange the ciabatta on a baking sheet and top each slice with a piece of cheese. Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the chicken among plates; drizzle with the sauce. Serve with broccolini and cheese toasts.
