Ingredients
For the Traybake for 4 people:
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
600g potatoes cut into large bite size pieces
150g (5 oz) chorizo, sliced into rounds
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic granules
1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
For the Smoked Paprika Garlic Aioli:
4 tbsp mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, minced
½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 200°C. In a large baking tray, toss the halved potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic granules, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly and bake for 15 minutes to start crisping up.
Step 2: Add the Chicken & Veggies
After 15 minutes, remove the tray from the oven. Add the chicken thighs (skin-side up), chorizo slices, onion wedges, and bell peppers. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, tossing everything lightly around the chicken.
Step 3: Bake Until Golden & Crispy
Return the tray to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy, the potatoes are golden, and the chicken juices run clear when pierced.
Step 4: Make the Aioli
While the traybake is cooking, mix all the aioli ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Once cooked, let the traybake rest for 5 minutes, then drizzle with the smoked paprika garlic aioli. Serve straight from the tray and enjoy a delicious, easy dinner with big flavors!
FAQs
Can I use boneless chicken thighs?
Yes! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs will cook faster (about 25 minutes total), so adjust the timing accordingly.
What can I serve with this traybake?
It’s a complete meal on its own, but you can serve it with a simple green salad, crusty bread, or steamed greens for extra balance.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Prep the ingredients in advance and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Leftovers also reheat beautifully.
Is this dish spicy?
Chorizo adds a subtle heat, but it's not overly spicy. If you want more spice, add a pinch of chili flakes.
