    Can substitute yellow onion for red onion and Calabrian chile paste for pepper flakes.

    Vinegar flavor was too strong, even as a vinegar lover. I would swap the white vinegar to white wine vinegar or dial it down next time.

    Another winner! Made with chicken thigh/leg quarters from a local farm and small Campari tomatoes. I used a full tablespoon of Calabrian chile paste, which may have been a bit too spicy for some, but I liked it. I loved the contrast of serving the saucy chicken over a platter of uncooked tomatoes and onions. And orzo was perfect to soak up all of the sauce in the pot.

    Fantastic and so easy. I took the chicken out at the end again, stirred in the fresh tomatoes, onions, and orzo, and put the chicken back on top to serve out of the pot.

    Amazingly flavorful for so few ingredients. Followed recipe very closely, with few or no alterations.
