Spanish Orange Chicken


This is one of the first few recipes that I have tried from Nigella Lawson.  A one-pan dish that is easy and mess-free, you'll be surprised on how little ingredients were used for this dish. Aromatic and flavoursome, this is a definite must-try given how simple this is. Her recipe serves 6 but I've tweaked it down to 2 instead. How often do we have 6 people in the house anyway? I've also cut down on the steps a little so that it's a lot easier to make. Remember though, to preheat your oven while you prepare the ingredients. Halo Espanol!

Serves 2
Ingredients:

2                            chicken leg (bone-in)
1 tablespoon          olive oil
11/2                       chorizo sausages, cut into 1 inch thick
6                            baby potatoes, halved (or 2 normal sized potatoes, quartered)
1 mediu                  red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon             dried oregano
1/2                         orange, zest grated

Method:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celcius. Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto a roasting pan and rub the chicken leg in the oil, then turn them skin side up.

Scatter the chorizo and potatoes in the pan evenly. Sprinkle the chopped onions and oregano and grate the orange zest over the dish.

Cook in the oven for 1 hour, basting the chicken with the juices during the cooking process.
