Grilled Paprika Chicken with Chorizo Gravy

Grilled Paprika Chicken with Chorizo Gravy is a dish of paprika marinated chicken grilled then served with gravy infused with chorizo

Back in the Philippines I used to eat a lot at fast food courts of malls, because its cheap and the place where I worked before have a big 4 floor shopping mall at the ground level. At that mall, there was this Filipino Spanish fusion restaurant (not existing anymore) that serves this amazing chicken with gravy and topped with chorizo bits, I know it’s a Filipino dish but until now I cannot find the name or its recipe, all I can vaguely remember is how it looks and how it tastes.

I remember it is made with a whole chicken leg and thigh section, lightly grilled or baked but nowhere near charred then it is drenched with a gravy with hints tomato then topped with chorizo bits. Like I said it was a favourite and once in a while I order it, probably one a week or once a fortnight. With that in mind I will try to recreate this personal favourite at home after more than 15 years, and I guess I did a good job, while it’s not 100% exact copy this is the nearest one I had made after my many attempts.
