Authentic Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

I agree that we are losing the heritage recipes, I have been cooking for 40 years and love the classics!

This is a really good cacciatore recipe. I came here after watching Gordon Ramsey's chicken cacciatore and this Billy Parisi version is so much more authentic and full of flavour.

I was thrilled to see you had this recipe. We ate this a lot growing up. This is very similar to a venison ossa buco dish I make in the winter. I can’t wait to make this tonight. Thanks for sharing such wonderful recipes 😁 Love this channel!

I am amazed at how many adults have never cut up a whole chicken, thank you grandma!!

Will have to try this out. This is the first cacciatore recipe I've seen without oregano.

Never made it, but have wanted to for some time now. I appreciate very much the fact that you did research and went authentic with this dish, anything worth doing is worth doing right. I will be following your recipe when I make my Chicken Cacciatore, thank you!!

I appreciate sticking to as close to authentic as you can...I worked for an Italian chef for many years and was his sous for two of those years and he was adamant about the accuracy and quality of ingredients. In your version of chicken cacciatore, Billy, the porcini mushrooms with the "broth" and the dry red wine are crucial and really make the sauce what it is. Giuseppe, my former chef and mentor, always insisted on legs and thighs (...dark meat like in coq au vin is always much more flavorful and traditional...), but I see the practicality of breaking down whole birds and purposing the carcasses for later use. I love your videos chef Billy!

Love your dedication to classics. Thanks for all the effort and research you put into your videos. I'll be back to comment here again once I actually get around to making this recipe but just wanted to say thanks in the mean time. Great video.

Love, love, love this so much!!! Thanks Billy. We're big fans of Pollo alla Cacciatora in my house. Please keep up bringing the authentic recipes, it's fine to have our own take on recipes, but when someone calls a rocket-pesto, Chimichurri or offers me parsley for a pizza Margherita instead of basil, I just say no, no... Big NO! That actually happened to me in LA, and almost fainted 😂 I love this recipe so much, thanks!!!

[chaosdimension]

Wow great job! The imagination and knowledge put into a dish. Can't wait too try!

[warptek]

Looks really good. No olives? My Mom used to put in green olives. Most recipes call for black olives though but I like green.

[mary-jeanslaughter]

[jayvey]

Did this full recipe. It's awesome. The 'singing' part wasn't a lie 😁

[marilynephelps]

I have made many of your recipies and would like to make this one, looks delicious. My family members do not like capers, what could I substitute for the capers?
