Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Cook the baby potatoes in boiling water or in the microwave until just shy of tender. Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken thighs.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until lightly browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Add the sliced chorizo to the same pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
