Chicken with Chorizo and Cider

Ingredients

Cooks in:Ready in 1hr (mostly unattended)        Serves:4

• 8 chicken thighs (skin on, bone in)
• 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp flour

• 2 tsp crushed garlic
• Approximately 200g chorizo, sliced

What to do

1.) Pre-heat oven to 180C and season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper and the dried mixed herbs.

2.) Fry the chicken along with the olive oil and butter in a good quality (preferably oven-proof) shallow pan over medium-high heat, for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

3.) Add the onions, garlic and chorizo and cook for 2-3 mins until the onions have coloured slightly. Sprinkle in the flour and stir well.

4.) Add the chicken back in on top of the onion and chorizo, pour in the cider, put the lid on the pot and place in the oven for 30 minutes and then a further 15-20 minutes with the lid off.

5.) Serve in warm bowls with mashed potato and greens.
