I am always looking for a new way to prepare chicken. This recipe caught my eye as it's a nice departure from the same old lemon or roasted chicken... and the lemon, rosemary, wine sauce sounds delish & easy. A little info on how the name of the dish may have originated. Enjoy!
Scarpariello means "shoemaker-style", and it is thought it's name might have originated as the chicken bones protrude from your mouth as you eat them much like a shoemaker might hold tacks in his mouth as he works. Another southern Italian origin to the name comes about from the fact that even the family of a poor shoemaker in southern Italy could afford to make this dish, while another version is that all of the ingredients in this dish can be easily "cobbled" together.

And... a Sweet Italian Sausage version:
