Calories 486kcal
Equipment
- large roasting tray
Ingredients
- 10 chicken thighs
- 1 kg new potatoes or charlotte potatoes
- 3 onions
- 1 whole garlic
- 100 g chorizo
- salt
- 20 g butter
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary optional
Instructions
- Clean the potatoes; you can cut bigger potatoes in half.
- Cut the garlic in half, across the cloves.
- Peel the onions and cut them into quarters.
- Slice the chorizo into 5- 8 mm thick slices.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt.
- Arrange all ingredients (chicken thighs, potatoes, chorizo, garlic and onions) onto the large baking tray.
- It's better to add 200 ml of water to the tray so there is more liquid at the bottom to prevent burns.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven to 180° C for 50 minutes.
- Remove the tray from the oven and rub each thigh with a chunk of butter (it will give the chicken better colour). In this point, you can add the rosemary to the tray too.
- Return the tray to the oven. Increase the temperature to 200° C and roast for an additional 20 minutes or until you are happy with the colour.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
We cook 10 thighs in one go which is more than we need for one meal, but it leaves us with leftovers for another dinner. It's a good way to save some time and energy bill too.
