And you know what? You give me inspiration for my creations! This particular dish came about in response to an email from a reader about my Italian Baked Chicken who said that she made something similar, Spanish style. I instantly knew how I would transform this into a Spanish style dish. So here it is!
The secret ingredient in this is chorizo. Nowadays in Australia, you can get it in all the supermarkets and at delis for not much more than the cost of bacon. But I dare to say it has a lot more flavour than bacon! The brilliant thing about chorizo is that when you cook it, it releases incredible flavour. Strong, spicy (but not too spicy!), flavoured juices that is used as the key flavouring for this dish. I know it looks like I burned the chicken and chorizo. But it’s not! It’s dark because of the paprika in the chorizo and the rub for the chicken which is seared then popped in the oven to finish cooking. So this recipe is dedicated to you – the readers of my blog. For those who voted for Breakfast & Brunch, and Party Food recipes for the next free cookbook, never fear! Not only will I create those cookbooks this year for you, the FAST PREP, BIG FLAVOURS cookbook will include breakfast and party food sections!
