Chicken Scarpariello is an Italian American dish that combines the briny, woody, and hotness of the flavors incorporated into the dish. The dish apparently originated in New York and the meaning is loosely derived from Scarpiello which in Italian means "shoemaker". Either way, this dish was an interesting combination of the flavors listed above. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for something different and to kick up the flavors of your normal chicken dish. Chicken Scarpariello.

If it's not on the bone, and the sausage is missing, It is NOT Chicken Scarp
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment and checking out the post as well as I hope the blog. Although you feel it is one way, others can make it a different way. Just like any other Italian "based" dish people change it based on their own tastes and even region their family may come from. My family didn't grow up with this dish as we were from Abruzzi and Calabria. I wanted to leave out the sausage and try it just this way. I know some people even put potatoes in it and feel it must contain them. Thanks again.
