2. Prepare Chicken: Wash the chicken thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. 🧼🐔

3. Coat Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour and spices (dry basil, oregano, thyme, pepper, and salt). Lightly coat each piece of chicken with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. 💼🍗

4. Fry Chicken: In a large skillet (preferably cast iron), heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and fry quickly until they turn a light brown color on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside on a paper towel to drain. 🍳🔥

5. Prepare Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the potatoes and fry, turning occasionally, until they also turn a light brown color on all sides. Once done, remove the potatoes and set them aside on a paper towel to drain. 🥔🍟

6. Prepare Skillet: Pour off any excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons behind. Return the chicken and potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle the garlic and parsley over the chicken and potatoes, then add 1/2 cup of water. 💧💫

7. Add Wine: Pour the white wine over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated. 🍷🥔

8. Bake: Place the skillet, uncovered, in the preheated oven and bake until the potatoes are fork-tender and the chicken is cooked through. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes. ⏲️🍽️

9. Rest and Serve: Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the juices to be absorbed. Serve the Chicken Vesuvio hot, garnished with the pan juices. Enjoy the explosion of flavors! 🎆🍴
