London: Cooking for the family can feel like a chore, right? But here’s a cool idea from @mealsbymitch. He’s all about making tasty meals that don’t cost a fortune.
He’s been getting loads of requests for a “fiver traybake series.” So, he came up with a chicken and chorizo traybake that costs just £4.87 and uses only six ingredients. How awesome is that?
To whip it up, he chopped some potatoes and laid them on a tray, then added chicken thighs with a drizzle of olive oil. He seasoned it with salt and pepper and joked, “Who can be bothered to throw a banquet together after work?” I think we can all relate to that!
He said this traybake is a great way to feed everyone by just tossing everything onto a tray. He added a sprinkle of paprika and baked it at 180 degrees for 45 minutes. After that, he threw in onions, peppers, and sliced chorizo for another 15 minutes in the oven.
To make it look nice, he tossed in some greens at the end and spooned over the tasty juices. The final dish looked delicious and could easily serve four if everyone had a chicken leg.
In the comments, one person raved about chicken legs, saying, “Can’t beat chicken legs for value. Got some in the slow cooker right now.” Another asked how he prepared the potatoes, and Mitch replied, “Didn’t boil them, just straight onto the tray.”
A dad shared that he made it for his family with spicy rice and corn on the cob, and it was a hit. Another dad chimed in, “This is proper nice; I make some variation of it every week. Kids love it.”
