Chicken And Chorizo Traybake With Potatoes And Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a pestle and mortar, crush the garlic and thyme leaves with a little seasoning and 2 tsp 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 on the underside of the chicken to flavour it.
• Cut each of the pepper halves into 2 or 3 chunky strips, depending on their size. Pile into a large roasting tin with the chorizo and olives, toss with the remaining oil, then sit the chicken on top, skin-side up. Scatter over the tomatoes, spoon over the vinegar, season and tuck in the thyme sprigs.
• Roast for 1 hr until the chicken skin is crispy and the vegetables have softened. Serve with crusty bread, pasta or potatoes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cut the chorizo into slices the thickness of a pound coin. Put the onion and garlic in the bottom of a large roasting tin. Scatter over the chorizo, then add the chicken pieces, potato, rosemary and a couple of grinds of black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, then bake for 45 mins.
• Halfway through the cooking time, give everything a good baste in the chorizo juices.
