1. Using a sharp knife, make three incisions down to the bone of each chicken thigh. Mix the marinade ingredients and rub the chicken pieces well with it; leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven. Place the pumpkin, peppers, sweet potato and onions in a large ovenproof dish, drizzle with oil and season with cumin and coriander. Mix until well coated and arrange in a single layer in the dish. Place the chicken on top, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cover with foil.
3. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, stir the vegetables gently and bake uncovered for another 25 minutes until everything is fragrant and cooked – the marinade will give the chicken a lovely crust. Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve with rice.
