I used to do this with my mom when I was younger! Of course it was before youtube days so we don’t have the blessing of having those moments recorded, so it’s beautiful to see another family share that same joy :)

I'm glad you said that. 👍 One of the fundamental rules of Italian cuisine, in preparing pasta, is…."It's not the pasta waiting for the sauce, but the sauce waiting for the pasta !". Unfortunately we often see, from various parts of the world, videos in which people cook pasta, then put it aside and then start preparing the sauce. Big mistake! Greetings from Italy ! 🇮🇹 👋

I'm so happy that Utica is finally getting some respect. Back when I lived there it was treated like the red headed stepchild of New York. This is a wonderful dish which I have made for years. Treat yourself.

My roommate in college in Alabama taught me how to make "Chicken Wiggle," Which is a southern version of this. his dad was from NYC, his mom from Southern Alabam. It uses spiral pasta, pickled Jalapenos in lieu of the cherry peppers, a dash or two of hot sauce, and diced onion and some mixed veg. IT starts with stripping all the meat off a baked or broiled chicken.

In Upstate NY we always serve Riggies with a side of Greens (Utica Greens), a saute of scarole and garlic. Would love to see you try those on this site as well! Love your show!

What I think can be learned from you, and it’s so important, is that a recipe is just a guide, not written in stone. Make do with what you’ve got. If you have awesome cherry peppers and cream go for it. If not it’s all okay. Cooking like this is giving, and a recipe is just a path toward that end.

I love how varied chicken riggies recipes can be. I`m from utica and almost every family has their own. Mine, for instance, makes an Alfredo sauce to add to the red sauce. We also coat our chicken in flour to help thicken the sauce, as well as add some parmesan and cream cheese at the end. Oh, and olives. Not saying mine is the best, just that there are so many variations to this beloved dish.

Dredging with flour actually sounds like an amazing idea.

From a long time northeast seasoned home cook. Love your simplistic, honest, simple tips throughout the recipe. Its always the little things that matter. Great recipe.

Oooo…This looks like another winner! Thank you for being so systematic and explicit for novice cooks like me…Love all the small tips you incorporate. When I make this recipe, I’m going to use pappardelle noodles. Awesome recipe and BEAUTIFUL family! Hope to see Mom in videos more often.

The sauce is actually good on a stuffed baked potato also. Sometimes for a quick dinner for just myself I'll just make a baked potato & top it with whatever leftover sauce or vegetable dish I may have in the fridge. It could be chili, beef stew, broccoli in cheese sauce & yes this sauce if I hadn't used it all with the pasta... The baked potato is a great way to use up leftovers IMHO... Great Job yet again, thanks for all your effort.

LOVE RIGGIES!! Make them at least once or twice a month! I actually add a little bit of the cherry pepper juice to my sauce too - YUM! I lived in Utica NY for several years...I'm still only like 30 mins away...yours came out great!! Thanks for sharing!

@Sip and Feast the great thing about chicken riggies is that there's no one correct "authentic" way to make it! It's more of a genre than a specific dish. Every family has their own particular way to do it! You're aiming for something rich, tangy, flavorful, and a lil' spicy- if you hit that, you've made good chicken riggies!

Can't wait to make this tonight! You're mine and my partner's favourite cooking channel, we're in Manchester in the UK so we sometimes can't get all of the ingredients but we try and find equivalents. Every dish we've made so far has been such a success!

Loved seeing the whole family trying the dish together!

I love that the taste tester is a food-adventurous young person! Adults with more experience and more sophisticated palates will like something that kids might not want to eat. Very helpful for a family cooking show.

Another winner! Will surely make it this weekend. Thank you for making easy to follow recipes.

This looks so simple and DELICIOUS! Gonna make it for my daughters next week. Very happy to see the misses on camera 😁 She's probably shy and I understand. But like I said last time, cooking and eating is better as a family. And a video like this one reflects that 😉

It amazes me how you are always able to keep your pans looking almost like new. Mine are such a mess no matter how hard I try to maintain them.

Oh I haven’t had chicken riggies in years. I’m to the point where my dinners are 80% cooking your recipes and 20% eating at my grandmother’s. Can’t wait to make this one.

I make something very close to this. Instead of the Cherry Peppers to add some spice, I cut up some Bridgford pepperoni into 'nickels' and call mine Chicken Pepperoni Rigatoni. The pepperoni adds another depth of flavor and is spicy without being too spicy. Try it sometime.

Absolutely stunning ... I used plain yogurt rather than cream and added some capers to give it a little sharpness. Finishing the slightly under done pasta in the sauce at the end was inspired. I'll be serving this again.

I love the idea of the cream with the cherry peppers, and I love cooking with chicken thighs. Thanks! This looks fantastic!

The music, the warm tone, so relaxing. What an awesome way to unwind after a long day. Thanks, Sip and Feast! Glad you showed up on my recommended. Subbed!

Just found your channel today and i cant stop watching your videos! Love the taste testing part, seeing your family comment on it really makes me want to join in on yummy food

The biggest debate on Riggies is cream vs no cream. I was a HUGE fan of the chesterfields recipe which didn’t use cream and instead used ~2 cups of Romano to give that creamy texture to the sauce. Personally I make a simple passata with puréed san marzanos, basil, and salt and use that in place of crushed tomatoes. I also roast the sweet peppers at 450 for 20 min and remove the flesh. I like it both ways with or without heavy cream but to each their own. Oh and you’re absolutely right about finding hot cherry peppers outside NY. They were everywhere in Syracuse but in Cleveland I have to use sweet cherry peppers and add Calabrian chili oil to get the heat while still getting the flavor of the cherry peppers

I recently discovered this channel and LOVE it. Unpretentious yet excellent home cook recipes. Great technique demonstrated for newer cooks. Love the family taste test. And as someone who lived in NJ for 20 years and now lives in the Mountain West, I could listen to this guy talk all day ❤️ scratches my East Coast homesick itch ❤️

Perfectly done! if the cherry peppers are too hot, you can omit and add just a touch of red pepper flakes and white vinegar...it's the pickling of the peppers that gives this dish it's special taste.. this way you can control the heat, but approximate the flavor.....but it's way better with them in there!....upstate ny has so many wonderful, unique food offerings.....

Thank you for being genuine. Not snooty or pretentious. I really appreciate that. I have a question related to you refusing to use the OTHER f word. Do you have a similar dislike for the term deglazing? You have the best taste tester on all of KZread.

Made this for my brother and he said it was the best thing he's eaten ever. Can't get better praise than that

It's a Utica thing, Chicken Riggies, Utica Greens and Tomato Pie. Had them all at one time or another, 2nd generation Italian/American living 50 miles from Utica it's unavoidable ;o) They're good, but like anything else it depends on who makes them. I'm sure there's hundreds of variations. In fact I made fresh Polish sausage and riggies last night. No booze or cream - didn't have any :o( with left over marinara. Used hot water to release the "four letter word" from the pan. I did use a nub of butter and pasta water to finish the riggies in the sauce. Very good and there's just two of us so there's left overs. Lots of good things from Utica, like Utica Club brewery and its offsprings Matts and Saranac. Franklin Hotel and the Florinetine Bakery - fantastic pastry. Thanks to you and your family for welcoming us into your kitchen and cooking all these awesome dishes.

Yummy!!!!Love your way of showing the recipies Beautiful Family!!🌹

YAY! Utica Chicken Riggies! Isn't this a dish that just hits the spot. It's pretty cool each place up there kind of has there own version some use cream some just use wine and a lot of parmesan to make it creamy. Thank you so much for doing this one woohoooo!!
