Beautifully tender with crispy skin and full of flavour.   The bed of chorizo, tomatoes and peppers are soooo good.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 fat garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves only
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 skin on bone in chicken thighs (see Notes)
  • 3 chicken drumsticks see Notes
  • 4 peppers any colours, deseeded and cut into chunky strips
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) piece of chorizo roughly chopped (we used a spicy one)
  • 150 g (5.3 oz) cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • crusty bread or try our Spanish-style roast baby potatoes to serve (see Notes)

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a pestle and mortar, crush the garlic and thyme leaves with a little seasoning and 1.5 tsp olive oil to make a paste. If you don’t have a pestle and mortar, finely grate the garlic, then stir everything together.
  • Rub the herb and garlic paste all over the chicken thighs and drumsticks to flavour them.
  • Pile the peppers into a large roasting tin or dish with the chorizo, toss with the remaining oil, then sit the chicken on top, skin-side up (thighs). Scatter over the tomatoes, spoon over the vinegar and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Roast for 1 hour until the chicken skin is crispy and the vegetables have softened. Serve with crusty bread or our try our Spanish-style roast baby potatoes (see Notes).

Notes

  • The original recipe serves 4 and uses all skin on bone in chicken thighs.   The pack of chicken we had in the fridge was 3 thighs and 3 drumsticks.   The drumsticks worked really and we enjoyed the dish for dinner one night and had leftovers for lunch the next day.
  • We had some baby potatoes left and decided to give them a bit of Spanish flavouring and roasted them in the oven while the chicken was also cooking...give our recipe for Spanish-style roast baby potatoes a try!
  • If you don't fancy potatoes, then some crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices would be good - the link to our recipes is below.
  • This Spanish chicken traybake recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
