Hot Or Cold – Harissa Chicken With Chorizo

September 18, 2017 by GG 14 Comments

Harissa Chicken And Chorizo With Lemon And Fresh Herbs

Harissa Chicken With Chorizo

Chicken is an easy meal for the family, although here each person has a different part of the bird that they prefer.  When I cook a whole chicken this can lead to the need for a three legged bird or one with five wings depending on who is having supper. This Harissa Chicken With Chorizo dish uses chicken thighs, ultimately juicy and succulent, with a crisp skin, they are perfect for cooking in the oven.  It seems that if you don’t give choice, and the marinade is delicious, everyone is happy whatever part of the chicken it is.

This is a really simple marinade which, like most is better if it’s kept on for longer, 3-24 hours, but if you’re looking to cut time short, it’ll still be delicious if you cover the joints generously in the marinade and cook straight away. This dish is great hot or cold.  Make extra and take some for lunch the next day.

    Chicken thighs are my favourite by far, and although Pete prefers the breast from a whole roasted chicken, he’s come around to my preference for thighs for everything else, whether it’s curries or baked dishes like this. Love the flavours you have used.

      Mr Glam is the same It’s always the breast when I roast a chicken, but I’ve managed to change his mind for other chicken dishes. GG
