ONE-POT CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO & NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and season the chicken all over. In a large flameproof casserole dish with a lid, heat the butter and oil until sizzling, then spend a good 15 mins slowly browning the chicken well all over. Remove from the dish and pop the lemon, bay and thyme in the cavity. Set aside.
• Pour most of the oil out of the dish, place back on the heat and sizzle the chorizo for 5 mins until it starts to release its red oil. Throw in the potatoes, sizzle them until they start to colour, then add the garlic. Splash in the sherry, let it bubble down a little, then pour in the stock.
• Nestle the chicken, breast-side up, among the potatoes, place the lid on the dish and cook in the oven for 1 hr 15 mins or until the legs easily come away from the body. Leave the chicken to rest for 10 mins, then scatter with parsley and serve straight from the dish.

CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO, PEPPERS & SAFFRON MASH

Steps:

• Trim the skin on the chicken thighs and set aside. For the mash, heat the milk and saffron in a small saucepan to just below boiling, then remove from the heat and set aside to infuse. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Heat the olive oil in a shallow 30cm casserole over a medium heat, fry the chorizo for 2 mins, then transfer to a dish using a slotted spoon. Fry the onions and peppers in the pan until starting to soften, about 10 mins. Add the garlic, cook for 2 mins more, then tip into the dish with the chorizo.
• Return the pan to a medium heat with any residual oil, then brown the chicken thighs on both sides. Season. If there's a lot of oil in the pan, pour away all but 1 tbsp. Add the rioja, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any sticky bits, then add the stock, bay and thyme.
• Add the chorizo and veg. Bring to a simmer, then transfer to the oven, uncovered. Cook for 35-40 mins, adding some water if the liquid starts to reduce too quickly.
• Meanwhile, make the mash. Cover the potatoes in lightly salted cold water, bring to the boil, and cook for 15 mins until tender. Drain, return to the pan, and leave for 5 mins to steam-dry. Mash the potatoes with the infused milk and butter. Beat in the olive oil and some seasoning. When the chicken is cooked through, season, scatter with thyme leaves and serve with the mash.
