This Fried Chicken Roman Style offers a delightful twist on traditional roast chicken, inspired by English interpretations of Italian cuisine. The chicken pieces are first pan-fried until golden and crisp, then simmered in a flavorful reduction of dry white wine, Marsala, and chopped tomatoes. Aromatics like garlic, sage, and finely diced Parma ham infuse the dish with deep, savory notes. The resulting sauce is thick, dark, and incredibly satisfying. It pairs beautifully with simple green vegetables or a fresh salad. Perfect for a hearty weeknight dinner or a special family meal, this recipe balances rustic simplicity with sophisticated flavors.

Directions
-
Heat olive oil and butter in a wide, deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
-
Fry the chicken pieces, turning often, until golden brown all over.
-
Pour off half of the fat from the pan and discard.
-
Add black pepper, diced Parma ham, crushed garlic, and crumbled sage leaves to the pan.
-
Sauté the aromatics for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
-
Pour in the dry white wine and Marsala, bring to a boil, and bubble gently for about one minute.
-
Lower the heat and continue cooking until the wine has mostly evaporated.
-
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato puree to the pan.
-
Stir well to blend in all the crispy bits and pan juices from the bottom of the pan.
-
Check seasoning; add salt if needed, though the Parma ham may provide enough saltiness.
-
Continue cooking over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by half and is thick and dark.
-
Transfer the chicken to a warmed serving dish and spoon the sauce over the top.
-
Serve immediately with a simple green vegetable or mixed green salad dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.
