  • 1-2 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil

  • 4 ripe tomatoestomatoes
  • 2 garlic
  • handful flat leaf parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Halve or quarter the potatoes, depending on their size (to produce evenly sized chunks). Place in a large non-stick roasting tin. Toss with two tablespoons of the oil and season to taste with salt and pepper, then put into the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Cut the chicken thighs in half, add the smoked paprika and cinnamon, if using. Scatter with half the thyme leaves, season with salt and pepper, stir through and set aside.
  • Make a nick in the skin of the chorizo then, peel away the papery skin. Cut the sausage into chunks or rounds.
  • When the potatoes have had 15 minutes roasting, give them a stir, then nestle the chicken and tomatoes into the pan. Scatter with the chorizo, garlic and the remaining thyme leaves, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle the remaining oil all over, and return to the oven to roast for 20 minutes more, stirring half-way, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes and tomatoes are turning golden brown and crisp at the edges
  • Scatter the dish with a handful roughly chopped parsley, and serve.
