Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 large skin on bone in chicken thighs
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 225 g (7.9 oz) whole new potatoes larger ones halved
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika or hot smoked pimenton
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 ciabatta roll (approx. 75g) torn into chunks
  • 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 large roasted red pepper (approx. 125g) chopped into bite-size pieces, plus 1 tbsp of juice from the jar
  • a handful of flat leaf parsley roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Season the chicken thighs well and put them into a medium roasting tin, skin side up, with the potatoes, and roast for 15 minutes.
  • Mix the paprika and olive oil together in a small bowl, then brush it over the chicken and potatoes. Roast another 15 minutes.
  • Place the bread chunks in among the potatoes and chicken, and cook for a final 15 minutes in the oven until the bread is golden and the chicken and potatoes are crisp and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the vinegar and honey with 1 tbsp of juice from the pepper jar.
  • When the tin comes out of the oven, add the dressing, chopped peppers and parsley to the tin, and serve.
  • Enjoy with a green salad, some more bread to mop up the delicious sauce, or your choice of vegetable side dishes.

Notes

  • Optional variations:
    • Add slices of chorizo for extra smokiness.
    • Mix in mediterranean vegetables like courgettes, aubergine or fennel.
    • For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with roasted cauliflower or aubergine.
    • Add chilli flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy version.
  • This chicken thighs with romesco traybake recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
