Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

Coconut oil, for greasing and frying
4 skinless chicken thighs
1 small red onion, cut into wedges
100ml (about 1/2 cup) chicken stock
30g/1oz chorizo, cut into small chunks
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
100g/3.5oz asparagus
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.

    Step 2

    Lightly grease a baking dish with a little coconut oil and then place the chicken thighs into the dish.

    Step 3

    Tuck the onion wedges underneath the thighs, then season each thigh well with a good grind of pepper and a pinch of salt.

    Step 4

    Pour the chicken stock into the dish then place in the oven to cook for about 30 minutes.

    Step 5

    Once 30 minutes is up, add the chorizo then place back in the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes.

    Step 6

    Remove the chicken from the oven and top with the rosemary. Reduce the heat slightly, give the dish a good stir, before placing back into the oven for a further 10 minutes.

    Step 7

    Meanwhile, heat a small amount of coconut oil in a frying pan and gently fry the asparagus, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly browned and softened then remove and serve alongside the chicken.

Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
