Ingredients
 

  • 4 chicken legs, cut in two, chop the knuckles from the drumstick, so you have a bare bone
  • 200 g cooking chorizo, skinned and finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 large red pepper, chopped into 1cm pieces
  • 1 yellow pepper, chopped into 1cm pieces
  • 2 small onions, finely chopped
  • 300 g paella rice
  • 1 chicken oxo cube
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • pinch chilli flakes
  • 600 mls boiling water
  • 4 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 4 lemon wedges
  • 4 fried eggs

Dressing

  • 6 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 6 salted anchovy fillets
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • ground pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C gas 6.
  • Heat a large ovenproof pan and the olive oil.
  • Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and ground pepper.
  • Brown nicely, then remove from the pan.
  • Next, add the chorizo and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, so the beautiful red oil comes out of the chorizo.
  • Add the peppers and onions and brown well.
  • Next, add the rice and coat well in the peppers and onions.
  • Add the paprika, chilli and water and stir well.
  • Place the chicken pieces on top and push down slightly.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and pop into the oven.
  • Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the rice has absorbed all the stock.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to rest for 10-15 minutes covered.
  • When ready to serve, break up the rice and chicken and cover with lots of chopped parsley.
  • Place all the ingredients for the dressing into a small measuring jug and blitz with a stick blender until you have a chunky puree.
  • Serve in deep bowls topped with a fried egg, spoon or two of the dressing, lemon wedges and extra paprika as a seasoning in you want.
