Ingredients

6 free-range chicken thighs, skin on, bone in

plain flour, for dusting

olive oil

100g quality chorizo

1 onion

4 cloves of garlic

½ a bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley

6 rashers of higher-welfare pancetta or smoked streaky bacon

2 litres organic chicken stock

2 large pinches of saffron

1 heaped teaspoon smoked paprika

500g paella rice

optional: 2 small squid, from sustainable sources

2 handfuls of fresh or frozen peas

10 large raw shell-on king prawns, from sustainable sources

optional: 500g mussels, from sustainable sources, cleaned

1 lemon

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5.
  2. Quarter each piece of chicken, then season with sea salt and black pepper and dust with flour.
  3. Heat a splash of oil in a large, deep pan on a medium heat and fry the chicken until golden brown all over, then transfer to a baking tray and place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, slice the chorizo, peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, and pick and finely chop the parsley leaves, finely chopping the stalks.
  5. Put the pan back on the heat, add the sliced chorizo and pancetta or bacon and fry until browned and crispy. Add the onion, garlic and parsley stalks, then cook until soft.
  6. Meanwhile, gently heat the chicken stock and infuse half with the saffron.
  7. Add the smoked paprika, the rice and infused stock to the pan and leave to cook on a medium heat for around 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Meanwhile, halve the squid and lightly score all over with a regular eating knife (if using).
  9. When the time's up, add the remaining stock, peas, prawns, and the mussels and squid (if using). Place a lid on the pan and cook for 10 further minutes.
  10. Finally, add the cooked chicken, sprinkle over the chopped parsley and serve with wedges of lemon for squeezing over.
