Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
2
Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and starting to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
3
Add the tomato sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Add the browned chicken back to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top of each piece.
4
Meanwhile, peel and cut the potatoes into wedges. Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain the potatoes on paper towels and season with salt.
