Steps
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 170C/325F (fan).
- Step 2
Mix together the salt, garlic salt, black pepper, white pepper, and paprika. Rub onto the skin of the chicken thighs
- Step 3
Heat the oil in a large, wide cast iron pan (or a heavy-based, ovenproof large frying pan) over a medium-high heat.
- Step 4
Place the chicken thighs in the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Turn oven and cook for another couple of minutes.
- Step 5
Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate.
- Step 6
Add in the chopped onion, celery, and red pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
- Step 7
Add in the chorizo and cook for a further two minutes.
- Step 8
Add in the oregano, garlic, and tomato puree. Stir, then add in the rice. Stir again to coat the rice in the oil.
- Step 9
Pour in the wine and stock, give everything a stir, then place the chicken, skin-side-up in the rice.
- Step 10
Arrange the chopped tomatoes around the chicken and the lemon slices on and around the chicken.
- Step 11
Place a lid on the pan (or cover tightly in foil) and place in the oven for 35-40 minutes, checking on the rice a couple of times in the last 10 minutes, until the rice is tender.
- Step 12
Take out of the oven and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
