If a recipe has been around since ancient Roman times, you know it must be a good one. Chef Marc’s take on Italian Chicken Agrodolce starts with succulent, perfectly seasoned boneless chicken thighs, roasted with extra virgin olive oil and earthy oregano. Then, he crafts a richly layered pan sauce with red wine, honey, orange, balsamic vinegar, garlic, almonds, raisins, and dried cherries. The resulting dish is bursting with savory-tangy-sweet flavor. Served with a side of refreshing lemony broccoli, this is the kind of beautifully balanced meal you’ll want to put on regular rotation.

Far too sweet for my taste. Thighs were very, very fatty

About Larry and Marc Forgione

At his pioneering Manhattan restaurant, An American Place, Larry Forgione established himself as a visionary locavore and the "Godfather of American cuisine." His son Marc Forgione is the chef and co-owner of the eponymous Tribeca restaurant and Peasant. Thanksgiving is the Forgione family's favorite holiday and their meal honors the food and traditions of Native Americans (who were at the first Thanksgiving). Marc's crowning feat on Next Iron Chef was Battle Thanksgiving where he prepared an homage to the First Thanksgiving in 1621 without the turkey (he did venison). Similarly, Larry’s Thanksgiving dishes often pay homage to Native Americans by using native, local ingredients such as wild game, salmon, oysters, and sweet potatoes. Marc and Larry’s CookUnity Thanksgiving dish features some of their favorite family dishes using local ingredients - red wine braised short ribs, maple whipped sweet potatoes (originally created by Larry at an American Place), and brussels sprouts with bacon.
