Baked Chicken With Chorizo Sausage



It was one of those days again - walking up and down the supermarket aisles without a dinner plan.... in the end I decided to do a baked chicken dish with some chorizo sausages I bought a few days earlier.

This is a very easy and delicious meal to prepare; use a whole chicken if you are feeding a small family, and why not serve baby chickens individually plated when you have friends over? I will try to fit in another post over the weekend, if not see you on Monday for the 9th MMM roundup. Have a great weekend and happy cooking!



serves 4 as with a side salad
you'll need
4 chicken maryland, excess fat removed
1 hot chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
1 hot chorizo sausage, cut into chunks
1 head of garlic
1 lemon, cut into chunks
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste



Loosen the chicken skin by inserting a finger between the skin and flesh. Stuff sliced chorizo under the skin, repeat the rest.



Place chicken in an oven proof dish, scatter garlic, chorizo and lemon chunks over. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.



Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.



Serve immediately with some of the pan juice and a side salad of your choice.
