Ingredients
Meat and Protein
- 2.5 lb Bone in chicken
- 12 ounce Spanish chorizo
Vegetables
- 3-4 Medium potatoes
- 1 large red onion
- 1-2 red bell peppers
- 4-5 garlic cloves (roughly crushed)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 2-3 tablespoons chopped parsley
Seasonings and Spices
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder (+ 1 teaspoon extra)
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 - 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Oils and Sauces
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Mix Dry Seasonings: Combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl to create the seasoning blend.
- Slice Chorizo: Cut the Spanish chorizo into slightly thick slices to ensure it holds texture during baking.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Chicken: Pat the bone-in chicken dry with a kitchen towel to remove moisture. Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of oil, then sprinkle half (2 tablespoons) of the seasoning blend over it, coating thoroughly for maximum flavor.
- Season Vegetables: In a baking pan, add chopped potatoes, diced red onion, sliced red bell peppers, and the roughly crushed garlic cloves. Toss these with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and the remaining seasoning mix to evenly coat.
- Assemble in Pan: Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer over the vegetables in the baking pan. Fill the gaps between the chicken pieces with the sliced chorizo. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake at 350°F: Place the covered baking pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes to cook through and allow flavors to meld.
- Remove Foil: Carefully take off the aluminum foil without disturbing the arrangement.
- Increase Heat and Continue Baking: Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (note: original text states 4000°F which is a typo). Return the uncovered pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken skin is nicely browned and the potatoes are tender.
- Prepare Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to taste until well combined.
- Serve: Drizzle the garlic yogurt sauce over the baked chicken and chorizo just before serving for a creamy and flavorful finish.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is patted dry to get a crispy skin during roasting.
- Adjust salt in the seasoning blend to taste, especially considering the saltiness of chorizo.
- The addition of mayonnaise to the garlic yogurt sauce adds creaminess but can be omitted for a lighter sauce.
- If potatoes cut unevenly, bake time may vary; check tenderness before increasing temperature.
- The oven temperature stated as 4000°F is likely a typo; the correct roasting temperature is 400°F.
