This Mediterranean-inspired chicken traybake is sure to become a new family favourite, as everything roasts together for an easy, hassle-free meal. The chorizo releases a lovely spicy, smoky oil as it cooks, which combined with a drizzle of honey, makes a wonderfully sticky marinade for the chicken. See method
