I’ve been wanting to try Nigella Lawson’s Spanish Chicken and Chorizo recipe for a while now so that was lunch today and a very satisfying and delicious meal it was. However as I’m not keen on the idea of orange with chicken, I made it slightly differently using lemon zest, rosemary and a dash of cayenne pepper. Here’s the recipe…do try it. Nigella’s one pot meal recipes always please the tastebuds:-). Here’s what I did.
Ingredients:
6 chicken thighs
300 gms chorizo chopped into small cubes
The zest of one lemon
A sprig of fresh rosemary, chopped fine
Dry oregano for sprinkling
Garlic infused olive oil
Baby potatos, quartered
6-8 whole cloves of garlic
A teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Salt
Method:
Pre-heat the oven
In a roasting tin, pour the garlic oil
Then smear the chicken thighs on both sides with the oil
Add the potatos; chorizo cubes and whole garlic
Sprinkle with dried oregano, the lemon zest, chopped rosemary, cayenne pepper and salt
Put the tin into the oven for about 45 minutes till roasted
The oils of the chorizo come out during the cooking process and this is what gives the chicken and potatos oodles of flavor. Enjoy!
