Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas 9
  • Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large bowl

Roast the potatoes

  • Dice the potatoes into 2cm chunks, then place onto a lined baking tray, drizzle with 2 tsp oil and season with salt and pepper
  • Roast for 15 mins

Get prepped

  • Meanwhile, roughly chop half the olives and add to the large bowl with the juice from the lemon, one-third of the honey and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set your dressing aside
  • Thinly slice the peppers. Cut each onion into 8 wedges

Bake the chicken

  • After 15 mins, add the onion wedges to the potato tray. Toss with 1/2 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt
  • Lay the chicken thighs flat onto the other lined tray. Season, spread with the vegan 'nduja and drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil. Place the tomatoes and pepper alongside, tossing with 1 tsp olive oil, salt and pepper
  • Roast all for 16 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and the veg has softened

Finish & plate up

  • In the final 5 mins, drizzle the chicken with the remaining honey. Roast for the remaining time
  • Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
  • Add the salad leaves to the dressing and toss to coat
  • Serve the chicken onto plates, with the potatoes, veg and salad alongside. Drizzle over any remaining dressing to finish
