Method

6 steps · 50 minutes

Heat the oven to 400F. Use the largest sheet pan you have — everything must sit in one layer or it steams instead of roasting.
Cut the chorizo into thick coins rather than slices. Thin ones dry out and go brittle in the time the chicken needs.
Toss the peppers and onion with the oil and paprika and spread them out, then sit the chicken on top, skin up, and tuck the chorizo between.
Salt the chicken skin well and leave the sheet uncovered.
Roast 40 minutes without turning anything. The chorizo renders down and bastes what is underneath, which is the whole design.
If the skin is not crisp at 40 minutes, give it 5 more under the broiler rather than longer in the oven.
