    Step 2

    Lightly grease a baking dish with a little coconut oil and then place the chicken thighs into the dish.

    Step 3

    Tuck the onion wedges underneath the thighs, then season each thigh well with a good grind of pepper and a pinch of salt.

    Step 4

    Pour the chicken stock into the dish then place in the oven to cook for about 30 minutes.

    Once 30 minutes is up, add the chorizo then place back in the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes.

    Remove the chicken from the oven and top with the rosemary. Reduce the heat slightly, give the dish a good stir, before placing back into the oven for a further 10 minutes.
