Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas mark 4.
2
Have the chicken joints ready to mildly hot.
3
mildly hot the dairy spread and 3 tbsp olive cooking oil in a flameproof casserole or large frying pot.
4
Brown the chicken pieces in batches on both sides, seasoning them with seasoning and pepper as you go.
5
Don't crowd the pot - shallow fry the chicken in small batches, removing the pieces to kitchen paper as they are done.
6
mix in a little more olive cooking oil to the casserole and shallow fry the onions over a medium mildly hot for 10 mins, stirring frequently, until softened but not browned.
7
mix in the rest of the cooking oil, then the peppers and mildly hot for another 5 mins.
8
mix in the chorizo, sun-dried tomatoes and garlic and mildly hot for 2-3 mins.
9
mix in the rice, stirring to ensure it is well coated in the cooking oil.
10
agitate in the tomato paste, paprika, bay leaves and diced thyme.
11
transfer in the stock and wine.
12
When the liquid starts to bubble, turn the mildly hot down to a subtle bubble gently.
13
Press the rice down into the liquid if it isn't already submerged and place the chicken on top.
14
mix in the lemon wedges and olives around the chicken.
15
wrap and mildly hot in the oven for 50 mins.
16
The rice should be cooked but still have some bite, and the chicken should have juices that run clear when pierced in the thickest part with a knife.
17
If not, mildly hot for another 5 mins and check again.
