Cupboard Essentials
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp parsley
- Pepper
Preheat oven to 180°C
Before placing the chicken into a large baking tray, cut off the excess skin that isn’t directly attached to the thigh.
Chop the onion into wedges, crush the garlic and slice the chorizo into fairly small pieces. Add all ingredients to the baking tray and coat with a tbsp of olive oil.
Add the chopped tomatoes and season with 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp parsley and pepper (chorizo provides enough salt)!
Place in oven. Timer-45 minutes, turning the thighs over at 15 minutes then again at 30 minutes.
Pop the rice on with a 1:2 water ratio. After 15 minutes the rice and chicken will be ready.
I’d usually eat one portion and with the remaining 3 portions I’d put one in the fridge and two in the freezer
