Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a large cast-iron skillet with 1 T. oil.
Sprinkle chicken thighs all over with 1/2 t. each salt and pepper. Arrange chicken thighs, skin side down, in prepared skillet; place over medium heat. Cook, undisturbed, until skin underneath is browned, 14–16 minutes.
While chicken is cooking, toss potatoes, pepperoncini, garlic, oregano, remaining 2 T. oil, 1/4 t. salt, and 1/4 t. pepper in a large bowl; set aside.
Flip chicken thighs over. Add potato mixture to skillet, arranging snugly around chicken. Evenly pour pepperoncini brine around edges of skillet.
Transfer skillet to oven; roast until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 40–45 minutes.
Remove skillet from oven. Transfer just the chicken and pepperoncini to a platter.
Place skillet over high heat; cook potatoes, stirring often, until coated in drippings and glossy, about 4 minutes; remove from heat; stir in red onion, sliced celery and parsley.
Place vegetables on the platter with the chicken and pepperoncini. Garnish with some celery leaves.
Serve.
