Ingredients

  • 6 boneless chicken thighs, skin on, each quartered
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Plain flour, for dusting
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • 100g beef chorizo, sliced
  • 6 slices veal bacon
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 large pinches of saffron
  • 2l hot chicken stock

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190C.

  2. Season the chicken pieces and dust with flour. Heat a little olive oil in a large deep pan and fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides. Bake for 15 mins.

  3. Put the pan back on the heat, and fry the sliced chorizo and bacon until brown and crispy. Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft.

  5. Slice the cooked chicken, and place on top of the rice. Serve with chopped parsley and a wedge of lemon.
