Espelette chili powder is a quintessential spice found in the Basque region of Spain.
A good substitute is a combination of sweet and smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, which we've used here.

1 sweet onion, thickly sliced
1 can (28 oz/796 mL) tomatoes, drained
5 oz (142 g) cured chorizo sausages, cut in chunks

olive oil1-3/4 tsp (9 mL)

On baking sheet, broil red peppers, cut side down, until blackened, about 12 minutes. Let cool enough to handle. Peel off blackened skins. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.)
In roasting pan, combine red peppers, onion, tomatoes, chorizo and garlic.
Toss chicken with oil to coat. Combine thyme, salt, sweet and smoked paprika and cayenne pepper; rub all over chicken. Place, skin side up, on vegetable mixture in pan.
Roast in 450°F (230°C) oven, basting halfway through, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 45 minutes.
