Espelette chili powder is a quintessential spice found in the Basque region of Spain. A good substitute is a combination of sweet and smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, which we've used here.

Ingredients

Method

On baking sheet, broil red peppers, cut side down, until blackened, about 12 minutes. Let cool enough to handle. Peel off blackened skins. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.)

In roasting pan, combine red peppers, onion, tomatoes, chorizo and garlic.

Toss chicken with oil to coat. Combine thyme, salt, sweet and smoked paprika and cayenne pepper; rub all over chicken. Place, skin side up, on vegetable mixture in pan.

Roast in 450°F (230°C) oven, basting halfway through, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 45 minutes.
