Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

I love the combination of flavours and textures in this dish: the sharp, lime-spiked black beans and feta against the spiced chicken, with hits of salt from the chorizo and texture from the sweetcorn. My favourite sort of dish – simple enough to have on a weeknight, smart enough to make for friends.

Ingredients

1 red onion, quartered
3 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
4 corn on the cob
8 free-range chicken thighs
150g chorizo, roughly chopped
3 tsp chipotle chilli flakes
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tbsp olive oil
A handful of fresh coriander, chopped
For the salsa:
1 x 400g tin of black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
100g feta cheese, crumbled
2 limes, juice and zest

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6.

Tip the onion, garlic, corn, chicken and chorizo into a roasting tin large enough to hold everything in one layer (you may need to use two medium tins), then add the chilli flakes, sea salt, ground coriander and olive oil and work them into the chicken and sweetcorn.

Transfer the tin(s) to the oven and roast for 1 hour, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Meanwhile, mix the black beans, extra virgin olive oil, feta, lime juice and zest in a bowl and set aside. Once the chicken has come out of the oven, scatter over the black bean salsa and coriander, and serve hot.
