Thought I'd cook this tomorrow for friends - chicken, chorizo, new pots traybake type thing.
What vegetables/salads would you serve with it?
Thanks - my brain doesn't seem to be working too well.

I do a green salad with it, and drizzle the juices from the chicken over.

Freshly baked bread, or do what I do and bake the part-baked ones. LIDL have 2 for 39p and are very tasty. The last couple of times i've made it though it's been a bit greasy and next time i'm going to trim off some of the skin from the chicken to see if that makes a difference

I always feel I need a green veg with things like this - broccoli or green beans. Lucky friends.

Thank you - have got bread, green beans and will make a green salad. Also roasting some baby vine tomatoes. Think that's everything covered.... love the idea of drizzling salad with juices, wugglewump. Not made it before so will watch out for the fat content.

I do green salad or green beans with it.

I have adapted the recipe slightly and imo it works well.

shallots, chicken and lardons or chorizo in a dish. after about half an hour add an oxo stockcube disoved in half a cup of water and a big dollop of tomato puree, also some drained tinned cherry tomatoes. Lots of black pepper, no salt as stock cube is salty.

Back in the oven for another half an hour, I usually turn the temp down a bit. You get the BEST sauce doing it this way and you can mop it up with some nice bread and serve with a green salad or broccoli.

Valium, saw your post too late - will try it next time! I cooked it at a lower temp than advised and it worked well - about 180 in my fan oven. I usually down Nigella's temperatures a bit. Made sure Chorizo was top layer so the oil/flavour dripped through.

Went down well - it's my birthday next week and having a few people for drinks/lunch so will do it again but will bone chicken first for ease of fork food.
