Method
step 1
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a pestle and mortar, crush the garlic and thyme leaves with a little seasoning and 2 tsp oil to make a paste. If you don’t have a pestle and mortar, finely grate the garlic, then stir everything together.
step 2
Rub the herb and garlic paste on the underside of the chicken to flavour it.
step 3
Cut each of the pepper halves into 2 or 3 chunky strips, depending on their size. Pile into a large roasting tin with the chorizo and olives, toss with the remaining oil, then sit the chicken on top, skin-side up. Scatter over the tomatoes, spoon over the vinegar, season and tuck in the thyme sprigs.
step 4
Roast for 1 hr until the chicken skin is crispy and the vegetables have softened. Serve with crusty or keto bread, pasta or potatoes.
