Serves 3-4

500g Mahy chicken thighs
1 red onion chopped into chunks
1 tsp La Chinata smoked paprika
1 tbsp Julie le Clerc harissa
220g El Navarrico sliced pimientos
325g El Navarrico chickpeas
1 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tbsp Opito Bay honey
Juice of half a lemon
3 garlic cloves crushed
Italian parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp Pons traditional extra virgin olive oil
Sal de Añana Spring Salt

Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a medium-sized bowl, mix all ingredients with the chicken thighs. Transfer the mixture to the fridge and let it marinate for 30 minutes.

Place the marinated chicken in an oven-proof dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Stir halfway through to prevent burning.

Remove from the oven and garnish with Italian parsley and crumbled feta, if desired.
