Smoky Spanish-Style Chicken With Patatas Bravas

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 6, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Cut your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized cubes

Add the potato cubes to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper

Put the tray in the oven for 25-30 min or until the potatoes are golden and crispy – these are your crispy potatoes

Deseed your peppers (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut them into thick strips

Peel and roughly slice your red onion[s]

Add the pepper strips and sliced onion to a separate baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt

Put the tray in the oven for 20 min or until the veg is soft and tender – this is your roasted veg

While the veg is in the oven, boil half a kettle

Dice your tomato[es]

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Dissolve your tomato paste in 100ml [150ml] [200ml] boiled water and add your chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) – this is your spicy tomato stock

Heat a pot with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add the diced tomato with a pinch of salt and sugar and cook for 3-4 min or until the tomatoes have broken down

Add the spicy tomato stock to the pan and cook for 3-4 min further or until thickened – this is your bravas sauce

While the sauce thickens, cut your chicken breast portion[s] in half lengthways

Combine your ground coriander, ground smoked paprika, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a generous pinch of salt on a plate – this is your smoky spice mix

Add the halved chicken to the smoky spice mix and mix until they are fully coated – this is your coated chicken

Heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the coated chicken and cook for 6 min on each side or until the chicken is slightly blackened on the outside and cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your smoky Spanish-style chicken

Meanwhile, combine your mayo, chopped garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!), 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] cold water and a pinch of salt in a small bowl – this is your aioli
