Ingredients
- 1.5 kg - 2kg chicken thighs/drumsticks
- 150 g chorizo chopped*
- 4 garlic cloves peeled
- 2 red onions quartered
- 400 g potatoes** - cut into cubes or wedges
- 2 sweet peppers deseeded and chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
- Very lightly oil a large baking tray.
- Lay the chicken pieces out in the tray.
- Add the chorizo, garlic cloves, chopped red onions, chopped potato cubes and sliced sweet peppers.
- Brush the ingredients with the olive oil.
- Sprinkle the smoked paprika evenly over everything in the tray.
- Cook in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken pieces. If they are large, you may need to cook for a little longer. Check on the tray bake at least once during the cooking time and turn the chicken over. Baste the ingredients with the juices from the chicken and chorizo.
- Check the chicken is cooked through before serving.
Notes
* I used chorizo slices in this recipe but diced chorizo is better to use as it is chunkier.
** use any type of potatoes you have. You can also use new potatoes or other all rounder potatoes such as Maris Pipers. I don't tend to bother peeling the skin, just give them a good clean and dice them, or cut them into wedges.
