Ex-Mob Boss Cooks Mafia Style Chicken Cacciatore (Old Family Recipe)
About this episode
Michael Franzese shares his family's recipe for chicken cacciatore while discussing cooking techniques and personal anecdotes.
🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://yt.franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ You loved the chicken parmesan so much that I had to come back and do this one — chicken cacciatore. But let me tell you the difference. Chicken parmesan? That’s an Italian-American dish. Ask for it in Italy and they’ll throw you right out of the restaurant. Chicken cacciatore is the real thing — it comes straight from Italy. Here’s what I’ll tell you about chicken: I’ll eat almost anything a little overcooked or undercooked, but dry chicken? I’m sending it back every time. The beauty of this recipe is you can’t dry it out — it simmers right in the sauce and stays moist and tender. It’s simple, about an hour, and you can throw in whatever you like: peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives, all over a bed of rice. I first made this for my wife years ago when she was just learning to cook Italian — now she makes it better than I do. While I cook, I’ll be pouring my fruit wines and telling you a few stories along the way. This is the real Italian way. Salud!
