Cooking Instructions
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. Place the potato 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 the capers 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 oil and a pinch of salt
- Lay the chicken thighs flat onto the other lined tray. Season, spread with the 'nduja and drizzle with 1/2 tsp oil. Place the tomatoes and pepper alongside, tossing with 1 tsp 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 roast veg and salad alongside. Drizzle over any remaining dressing to finish
