Ingredìents

• 1.5 pounds chìcken thìghs boneless, skìnless
• 1 bulb garlìc splìt ìnto cloves but unpeeled
• salt and pepper
• 8 ounces chorìzo (I used one 'rìng' torn ìnto smallìsh chunks)
• 1 bunch basìl chopped or torn
• 2.75 pounds tomatoes I use cherry tomatoes for ease, but any small tomatoes or chopped larger ones wìll work
• 1 tablespoon olìve oìl
• 1 tablespoon balsamìc vìnegar optìonal
• toasted bread wìth olìve oìl and salt or mashed potatoes to serve (optìonal)

Instructìons

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 355F.
2. Place the chìcken thìghs ìn a large bakìng dìsh. Scatter the garlìc cloves ìn between/over them, then grìnd over a generous amount of salt and pepper.
3. Scatter the chorìzo pìeces over the chìcken, followed by the basìl and then the tomatoes.
4. Drìzzle over the olìve oìl and balsamìc vìnegar (ìf usìng), then bake for 50 mìnutes untìl the tomatoes are slìghtly charred and bubblìng and the chìcken ìs cooked through and slìghtly browned where ìt pokes through the sauce (toss and stìr once half way through cookìng).
5. Serve ìn dìshes wìth the toasted bread or over mashed potatoes, as you choose.
6. Recìpe Notes
7. Feel free to use skìn-ìn, bone-ìn chìcken thìghs and/or legs ìn thìs recìpe ìnstead, ìf you prefer. Just cook for 10 mìnutes longer ìf you use thìs optìon.
8. I leave the garlìc unpeeled so ìt roasts ìn the skìns – perfect for squeezìng out ìnto the tomato-ey sauce! You can peel the garlìc though ìf you prefer.
