Another roasted chicken

And probably the last one..I simply can't cope with such amount of meat. This was was delicious, with juicy peppers and aromatic chorizo but now just vegetables, and Christmas treats of course!
Cosy dinner in front of TV (the movie was crap but at least food was OK).






















2 red onions, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, sliced
390g chorizo, cut into chunks
1-2 tsp paprika
1 chicken, about 1.8 kg
1tbsp olive oil
15g fresh rosemary
1 or 2  packs classic vine tomatoes, cut into halves or quarters
2 red peppers, deseeded and sliced
2 orange peppers, deseeded and sliced

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Scatter the onions, garlic and chunks of chorizo into a large roasting pan. Stir in the smoked paprika. Place the chicken on the onion mixture, brush with oil and season. Tuck the rosemary in the chicken cavity and amongst the onions and chorizo. Roast for about an hour. 
Add the tomatoes and peppers. Cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and there is no pink meat and its juices run clear.























I really like the colours - red and orange, served with yellow potatoes. And a glass of lager or course.
