Jamie Oliver Chicken and Chorizo Tray Bake
This tray bake is a one-pan recipe where chicken thighs or drumsticks are roasted alongside slices of chorizo, onions, peppers, and potatoes. As everything cooks together, the chorizo releases its smoky oils, infusing the chicken and vegetables with deep Mediterranean flavours.

Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs or drumsticks (skin-on, bone-in for best flavour)
- 200g chorizo, sliced into chunks
- 600g baby potatoes, halved
- 2 red peppers, sliced into strips
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 4 garlic cloves, left whole with skins on
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and allow it to heat while you prepare the ingredients.
Place the chicken thighs in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Spread the potatoes, peppers, onion wedges, and garlic cloves over a large baking tray. Nestle the chicken pieces on top, then scatter the chorizo slices around.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through. The chicken should be golden and fully cooked, and the potatoes crisp on the edges.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot straight from the tray.
