Ingredients

• 8 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 200 grams cooking chorizo sausage
• 500 grams baby potatoes
• 2 red onion
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, so they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 3

Slice the chorizo into 1/2 inch thick rounds.

Step 4

Peel and cut the red onions into wedges. Core and slice the red and yellow bell peppers into strips.

Step 5

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 6

Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish or roasting tray, skin-side up.

Step 7

Scatter the potatoes, chorizo slices, onion wedges, bell pepper strips, and minced garlic around the chicken.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.

Step 10

Cut the lemon into wedges and nestle them in the tray among the chicken and vegetables.

Step 11

Roast in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through (juices should run clear when pierced), and the potatoes are crispy and tender.

Step 12

Remove the tray from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices, if desired.
