• Now add all the potatoes back to the skillet. Add in the garlic cloves and crushed red pepper, mix well. Place the chicken pieces over the potatoes. Then pour in the wine and chicken stock.
• Place the skillet in the oven for 30 until, until the chicken is crispy on top and cooked through, and the potatoes are soft.
