Best 7 Spanish Chicken With Chorizo And Potatoes Recipes

SPANISH CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan/gas mark 7/425ºF. Put the oil in the bottom of 2 shallow roasting tins, 1 tablespoon in each. Rub the skin of the chicken in the oil, then turn skin-side up, 6 pieces in each tin. Divide the chorizo sausages and the new potatoes between the 2 tins. Sprinkle the onion and the oregano over, then grate the orange zest over the contents of the 2 tins. Cook for 1 hour, but after 30 minutes, swap the top tray with the bottom tray in the oven and baste the contents with the orange-coloured juices.

SPANISH CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425º.
• Pour oil into a large roaster pan.
• Place chicken in the pan, skin side down and rub it in the oil. Season the chicken with salt, then flip the chicken skin side up and season the skin side.
• Add the chorizo and potatoes to the pan and arrange the meat and veg in a single layer. I tried to keep all the potatoes skin side down to aid in browning.
• Zest the oranges and sprinkle the zest onto the chicken, along with the oregano.
• Add the onion to the pan and sprinkle some salt on the potatoes and onions.
• Cut one of the oranges in half and squeeze the juice over the meat. Use a sieve to catch any seeds and pulp.
• Place the pan in the center of the oven. Cook for at least an hour. Maybe an hour and twenty, depending on your over. the chicken will be cooked to +180º in about 40 minutes, but the extra time is to get the skin crispy and the meat super tender.
• Baste the chicken with the pan juices after 30 minutes, then again every 20 minutes. The pan juices will start to turn orange and are full of flavor. Brush the juices on the potatoes as well.
• I was lazy and I turned off the oven when the skin took on a nice orange color and got crispy. I let it sit in the oven for about 45 minutes before serving and the end result. I think that this rest period helped the skin set up and kinda shrink wrap around the chicken. You don't have to give it a long rest, but I think it's worth it.

SPANISH ROAST CHICKEN, CHORIZO AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place potatoes with 2 of the lemons into pot of boiling wate for 5 minutes. Drain, then prick the lemons all over with a knife. (You will be putting these inside the chicken and the heat from them will help the chicken to cook quicker from the inside as well as making it taste and smell wonderful.).
• Remove the parsley leaves from the stalks and save the leaves to use later. Stuff the chicken with the hot lemons and the stalks of the parsley.
• Season the chicken and the potatoes with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Slice the chorizo at an angle, 1/4 inch thick.
• Oil a roasting pan and lay the potatoes in the center, then place the chicken on top and sprinkle with the chorizo and a few of the parsley leaves (leaving the rest of the leaves for part of the finishing garnish). Drizzle the chicken with a little olive oil. Take a piece of wax paper (large enough to cover your roasting pan) and wet it so it becomes flexible, then shake it out and lay it over the top of the ingredients in the baking pan, tucking it in snugly so the juices don't escape (Don't plaster it tightly against the chicken or it will stick - tent and tuck.) Cook in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• While the chicken and potatoes are cooking, finely chop the zest of your 2 remaining lemons, the parsley leaves and the garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss together to create a seasoning-type garnish.
• Remove the pan from the oven, take chicken out and put to one side to rest. Give the potatoes a shake and put them back in the oven for a few more minutes to crisp up. I set the oven to broil for this part, so the potatoes would crisp faster. Just keep an eye on them.
• Carve the chicken and divide between 4 plates, with the potatoes and chorizo. The potatoes will have taken on the smoky flavor from the chorizo, so if there is any juice left in the pan, pour every bit over the plates. Sprinkle over the seasoning garnish (when it hits the hot juice, it will smell fabulous).

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO ROMESCO WITH SPANISH POTATOES AND KALE

Steps:

• Heat about 1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and slowly cook until crisp and golden brown.
• Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water, bring to a boil, season with salt and cook 15 minutes or until tender, drain and return to hot pot. While the potatoes cook, simmer kale in salted water 10 minutes then drain. When you are ready to serve, mash potatoes with stock and cheese, fold in kale, adjust salt and pepper.
• While potatoes come to a boil, move forward with the meal. Add to a food processor: toasted garlic (reserve the oil), some of the toasted bread in pieces, the peppers, tomatoes, sherry vinegar, almonds, and salt and pepper. Turn processor on and stream in reserved "garlic-oil" and add the rest of the toasted bread in pieces until you get a pesto-like consistency. Transfer sauce back to the skillet and keep warm over low heat.
• Cut each piece of chicken into 3 chunks and season with citrus zest, smoked sweet paprika, salt, pepper and parsley. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and render it 1 minute. Remove the chorizo to a plate and then add chicken and cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Pour a pool of sauce onto each dinner plate and top with a mound of potatoes and kale and chunks of chicken and chorizo. OLE!

SPANISH CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Much as I love to have a pan bubbling away on the stove, I often feel that the most stress-free way to feed people is by taking the oven route. When I'm frazzled, I firmly believe that a "tray-bake" is the safest way to go. Enjoy the easefulness of the oven: you just throw everything in, and you're done. I think I'd go to the supreme effort of laying on a green salad as well but, other than that, you may kick up your flamenco heels and enjoy the fiesta.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the oil in the bottom of 2 shallow roasting pans or quarter sheet pans, 1 tablespoon in each. Rub the skin of the chicken in the oil, then turn skin side up and put 6 pieces in each pan.
• Divide the chorizo sausages and the baby potatoes between the 2 pans. Sprinkle with the onion and the oregano, then grate the orange zest over the contents of the 2 pans.
• Bake for 1 hour, but after 30 minutes, swap the top pan with the bottom pan in the oven and baste the contents with the orange-colored juices. Transfer the chicken mixture to a large serving platter and serve.
• Making Leftovers Right
• Chicken Quesadillas:
• You can reheat what remains (removing the bones from the chicken first) within 2 days, maybe with some canned diced tomatoes, sherry, and orange juice, but my absolute favorite final destination for this dish is a quesadilla. When I was last in Kansas City, that shining city of lights, I breakfasted on a chicken, pepper jack, and potato quesadilla (as one does) and it inspired me. So, just get as many soft flour tortillas as your leftovers command, take the bones out of the chicken, dice the meat along with the chorizo and potatoes, and stir in some diced, shredded, or grated cheese (Cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, all are possible), dollop some of the mixture into each tortilla, fold, then griddle or fry. Make sure the chicken is piping hot. And do see p.433 for more in-depth instruction. This makes for a splendid hangover-banishing breakfast or near-instant dinner, the sort you chow down on while watching something compellingly bad on TV.

SPANISH CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO, POTATOES & CHICKPEAS

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Insert the zested, halved lemon into the chicken cavity, and mix the 1 tbsp paprika with 1 tbsp of the oil and some seasoning. Rub this all over the chicken and sit it in the middle of a big roasting tin. Toss the potatoes and chorizo with the rest of the oil and scatter around the chicken. Cover everything with a big tent of foil and roast for 30 mins.
• Remove the foil from the tin, baste the chicken, then stir the lemon wedges and garlic cloves into the spuds and chorizo. Roast uncovered for another 30 mins while you mix the wine, stock and 1 pinch of saffron together.
• Pour the stock mixture into the tin with the chickpeas and some seasoning, stirring together with the potato and chorizo, then put back in the oven for a final 30 mins.
• Check the chicken is cooked through, then stir the parsley into the tin. Mix the lemon zest, another pinch of saffron and 1-2 pinches of paprika into the yogurt and serve alongside.
