Roasted Chicken and Chorizo

Cooked this recipe tonight using chicken thighs. My husband liked it very much so it will be good to use when I want a quick easy tasty dinner.

I have cooked this now three times, I added another chorizo sausage, I sprayed the skin of the chicken with oil and put some italian herbs on the skin and it crisped up beautifully, I am having a dinner party in a few weeks and this will be on the menu but in a larger scale, served with italian bread it will be delicious

I agree, used a whole chicken the first time, but am repeating with thighs and legs this time as the breast dried out. Also delicious heated up the next day!

I have cooked this many times now. I use whole kalamata olives instead of green and add 1/2 cup white wine and I also now use about a tablespoon of chopped preserved lemon instead of a quartered lemon. I usually cook a whole flattened chicken instead of pieces also. I start the chicken off by itself with a drizzle of olive oil for the first 25 mins to get the skin crispier.
It is still an absolute favourite of ours!

This was delicious. So easy and quick to prepare. You just need some bread to mop up the yummy lemony juices! I will be making this again!
*Ros - to make it crispy I just cooked it for a little longer and turned the oven temperature up towards the end.

*Ros - To make the skin crispy, I just left it in longer and turned it up a little towards the end.

Loved this, SO tasty. I used about double the cherry tomatoes though.

Ros- I would rub a little oregano/salt/pepper under the skin, Then rub a little butter across the chicken
Skin- Cook about 10min First, Then have the rest of the ingredients mixed/tossed in . The skin will have a more chrispy texture & taste to it- hope that helps :-)
