A lovely Spanish recipe to cook on the barbecue. The chorizo adds an incredibly rich flavour to the chicken.
Serves 4
Takes 10 minutes to make and 25-30 minutes to barbecue

12.5g sugar
2.2g salt
1. Preheat the barbecue. Place a chorizo slice under the skin of each chicken thigh, then season all over. Cook, covered, on the hot barbecue for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, or until lightly charred and the juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a sharp knife.
If you don't have a barbecue with a lid (known as a kettle barbecue and ideal for bone-in meats and large joints), then cook the chicken in an oven preheated to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6 for 20 minutes, turning halfway. Finish on the barbecue for 5-10 minutes, until cooked through and charred. To cook indoors: Cook the chicken in the oven (see above) then finish in a griddle or frying pan, in batches, for 5-10 minutes, until cooked through.
2. Meanwhile, tip the chickpeas into a large bowl. Drain the peppers (reserve the oil) and roughly chop. Add to the chickpeas with the rocket.
3. In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of the reserved oil with the lemon juice, then season to taste. Pour over the chickpeas, add the parsley and toss everything together.
4. Serve 2 chorizo chicken thighs per person, with the chickpea and rocket salad and some lemon wedges to squeeze over.

This is just the kind of dish that needs washing down with a chilled, young, bright Spanish rosado (pink) wine, or sink a refreshing, ice-cold premium lager.
