Steps to make Almost Spanish Chicken:
- Pre-heat your oven to Gas Mark 4 or your electric equivalent. This is 160C on my Neff Circotherm but is more like 180C for other ovens.
- Season the chicken thighs well.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large casserole and brown the chicken thighs all over, in small batches not all at once. Set aside.
- Use a very little wine to deglaze the bottom of the casserole, add the third tbsp of oil. When hot, add the onions, gently fry for 3 minutes, then add the peppers, garlic, chili and leek and fry for a further 3 minutes or until just turning brown, stirring occasionally.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and Serrano ham/chorizo and stir gently but thoroughly.
- Stir in the rice. Once it’s coated, add the tomato purée, smoked paprika, thyme and zatar.
- Add the stock and wine and stir thoroughly. Bring to a fast simmer.
- Reduce to a gentle simmer and carefully place the chicken thighs on top without disturbing the rice. Similarly place the orange segments and olives.
- Put on a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the pre-heated oven. Cook for around 1 hour. The rice should be cooked but still with a little “bite”.
- Serve piping hot onto warmed plates.
