When searing the chicken for this flavorful potluck dish, work in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Crowding creates steam that will make the crispy skin soggy. This recipe comes from TV chef Sarah Mastracco.

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
Two (3 1/2-to 4-pound) chickens, each cut into 10 pieces
1/3 cup dry white wine
