One-pan piri piri chicken dinner in a casserole dish

1kg bone-in chicken
thighs and drumsticks (equal quantities of each saves any arguments)
500g baby potatoes
thickly sliced
2 peppers
(1 red, 1 yellow), thickly sliced
200g cherry tomatoes
handful of coriander leaves
chopped
buttered corn on the cob
to serve

For the marinade

1½ tsp smoked paprika
25g light brown soft sugar
1 lime
zested and juiced
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
(use less if you prefer less heat)
2 garlic cloves
chopped
4 tbsp olive oil
½ bunch of fresh oregano
leaves picked or 1 tbsp dried oregano
1 red chilli
(optional), deseeded and chopped
1 tbsp red wine
or port (optional)

Method

step 1
Pound all the marinade ingredients together with 1 tsp salt using a large pestle and mortar, or blitz in a mini chopper to create a loose paste. Slash each chicken piece a few times, then tip into a bowl and coat in the marinade. Cover and chill for at least 1 hr or up to 24 hrs.
step 2
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the chicken along with the marinade and potatoes into a roasting tin. Toss together, then arrange the chicken on top of the potatoes, thighs skin-side up. Roast for 35-40 mins until the chicken has browned.
step 3
Remove the tin from the oven and mix the peppers in with the potatoes, baste the chicken in some of the juices in the tin and turn the drumsticks. Nestle the cherry tomatoes in among the chicken and roast for another 20-25 mins until the chicken is cooked through, the skin is crisp and the vegetables are nicely roasted. Scatter with the coriander and some flaky sea salt, if you like, and serve straight from the tin with the buttered corn on the side.
