Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 250 grams chorizo sausage
• 500 grams baby potatoes
• 2 whole red onion
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 whole lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure uniform cooking. Leave the smaller ones whole.

Step 3

Peel the red onions and slice them into thick wedges. Seed the red bell pepper and cut it into strips.

Step 4

Slice the chorizo sausage into 1-inch thick rounds.

Step 5

In a large roasting pan, combine the potatoes, red onions, bell pepper strips, and sliced chorizo.

Step 6

Peel and crush the garlic cloves, then add them to the pan. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and chorizo, tossing everything together to coat well.

Step 8

Nestle the chicken thighs into the pan skin-side up, making sure they are evenly distributed among the vegetables.

Step 9

Strip the rosemary leaves from the sprigs and scatter them over the chicken and vegetables.

Step 10

Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables. Slice the other half of the lemon into wedges and tuck them around the pan.

Step 11

Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast for 50-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C/165°F) and the potatoes are tender. Stir the vegetables halfway through roasting for even cooking.

Step 12

If the chicken skin isn’t crispy enough after cooking, set the oven to broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 13

Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 14

Serve hot, with crispy chicken, caramelized chorizo, and vegetables plated together. Optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
