    3 1/2 lb Bone-in chicken pieces
    2 ts Kosher salt
    1 ts Black pepper
    1 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
    5 oz Pancetta; diced
    3 cl Garlic; thin sliced

    - serving
    8 oz Bocconcini; halved
    +=OR=+
    8 oz Mozzarella;in 3/4" pieces

    Set oven @ 400-|F/205-|C.

    Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.

    In a large oven-proof skillet, warm oil over medium-high
    heat. Add pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, until
    browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer pancetta to a
    paper-towel-lined plate.

    Add chicken to skillet. Sear, turning only occasionally,
    until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
    Transfer to a large plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon
    oil.

    Add garlic, anchovy and red pepper flakes to skillet;
    fry 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and basil. Cook, breaking
    up tomatoes with a spatula, until sauce thickens
    somewhat, about 10 minutes.

    Return chicken to skillet. Transfer skillet to oven and
    cook, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink, about
    30 minutes.

    Scatter bocconcini or mozzarella pieces over skillet.
    Adjust oven temperature to broil. Return skillet to oven
    and broil until cheese is melted and bubbling, 2 to 3
    minutes (watch carefully to see that it does not burn).
    Garnish with pancetta and chopped basil before serving.
