Notes about this recipe

    I wasn’t a huge fan of this - although my husband liked it a lot. It was fine, but not terribly interesting. My main complaint was that the cauliflower overcooked and pretty much fell apart and the potatoes didn’t crisp up - they just braised in the chicken and nduja grease.

    I liked this, not least because it’s so simple to prepare and very tasty. My husband wasn’t so keen. I added red peppers.

    Mind which type of Nduja you use :( Last one from jar from amazon was stringy and yuk

    Added red onions and garlic cloves. Could consider adding red peppers and cherry tomatoes to give a little more sauce. Very tasty

    This is incredibly tasty. I used miniature potatoes. Cooked in a 33cm shallow casserole for 50 mins or so, turning after 20 and another 20, taking the chicken pieces out the first time to give everything a good mix and drizzling the second time. The chicken virtually covered the veg so nothing burned and the chicken skin was nice and crispy. 80g nduja (pack size, Waitrose) was plenty for me and I had it with mayo to cool things down a bit.

    This is so very tasty! I don't know if there is something wrong with my oven but this took about an hour and a half. After thirty minutes everything still seemed raw so I cranked up the heat to 450 and then cooked it for another forty minutes or so. I added red onion wedges, as Henry suggested, and they were one of the best parts!

    We enjoyed this but I recommend cutting the cauliflower into large florets so it doesn't overcook at the recommended 400F for 40-45 mins.

    I’ve only just been able to get my hands on ‘nduja, this was the dish to try it on. Not much work to do, because as the book promises, the oven does it all. The chicken was juicy with crispy skin, and the vegetables cooked down in the red hot chilli oil from the spicy ‘nduja. I had to halve the quantity because there is no way 8 thighs would fit in any one baking dish

    Tried this tonight mostly because I was intrigued by nduja —-I had never heard of it. This is a delicious, easy weeknight meal. The recipe suggests adding red onions. I added sliced leeks instead because I had them. Definitely will make again, and will add more nduja because it’s the main seasoning and it’s a great flavor.
