Description

A bold, one-pan wonder featuring juicy chicken thighs, smoky chorizo, and caramelized vegetables roasted in a fiery harissa glaze. This traybake is deeply flavorful, easy to prep, and perfect for cozy nights or effortless entertaining.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 200g chorizo sausage, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 200g cherry tomatoes
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice.
  3. Add chicken, chorizo, and chopped vegetables to the bowl. Toss to coat everything evenly.
  4. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  5. Spread the mixture onto the tray, placing chicken thighs skin-side up and arranging the other ingredients around them.
  6. Roast for 40–45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden, and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  7. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness.
  8. Serve hot with couscous, rice, or warm bread.

Notes

  • Use boneless chicken for quicker cooking, but reduce the roasting time accordingly.
  • Add chickpeas or sweet potatoes for extra bulk.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • A dollop of yogurt on top balances the heat beautifully.
