Saw one the other nite, chicken thighs(skin on) in the oven with chorizo and roast potatoes, cant remember if she seasoned the oil with paprika, baked at 200 degrees for one hour which I thought was a lot.

If that's the Spanish chicken with chorizo and potatoes, I've made it several times and an hour has been right.

One hour sounds right to me for decent sized chicken thighs bone in.That recipe sounds great - I might make it for dinner tonight!
Many people remark on errors in Nigella's recipes but I've never had a failure, and I think her palate is very good and her flavour combinations work well.

Can someone remind me of the oil with bits, garlic and paprika!

It uses regular olive oil, dried oregano and grated orange zest.

I found it on the net by googling Nigella Chicken & Chorizo and I have it in the oven right now.Here it is :
Spanish Chicken with Chorizo (Nigella Lawson)
• • 2 x 15ml tablespoons regular olive oil • 12 chicken thighs (bone in, with skin) • 750g chorizo sausages, whole if baby ones, or cut into 4cm chunks if regular-sized • 1kg new potatoes, halved • 2 red onions, peeled and roughly chopped • 2 teaspoons dried oregano • grated zest 1 orange
Serves: 6
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7. Put the oil in the bottom of 2 shallow roasting tins, 1 tablespoon in each. Rub the skin of the chicken in the oil, then turn skin-side up, 6 pieces in each tin. 2. Divide the chorizo sausages and the new potatoes between the 2 tins. Sprinkle the onion and the oregano over, then grate the orange zest over the contents of the 2 tins. 3. Cook for 1 hour, but after 30 minutes, swap the top tray with the bottom tray in the oven and baste the contents with the orange-coloured juices.

Thank you davidt4 that sounds really nice and it is always nice to have some different way of cooking chicken as l find it a bit bland without doing something to it

I now recommend because the chorizo is cooked to sheild it from the heat, either tuck it under the chicken( this works well as it forms parts of the chicken piece) or place the spuds on it.

Any thoughts on adding halved tomatoes or cherry toms to this mix! Would the whole hour be too much - maybe last 30 mins only! Thanks

Also, should I adjust the cooking time if using boneless chicken thighs!

I think cherry tomatoes would be a good addition.Maybe cook it at a slightly higher temperature to evaporate the juices.
Boneless thighs will take a shorter time and are more likely to dry out than bone-in thighs.

Thanks David. I went with halvedordinary toms and kept the thighs together as if not boned. All very good and even eaten by the kids!
