Bone-in chicken thighs and breasts star in Roasted Paprika Chicken. Simply rub a paste of paprika and fresh thyme into these chicken pieces and let them roast to perfection. Ingredients:
1/4 cup smoked paprika |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 teaspoons kosher salt |
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
5 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs and breasts |
2 lemons, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°. Stir together first 5 ingredients, forming a paste.
2. Loosen and lift skin from chicken pieces with fingers (do not totally detach skin). Spread half of paprika mixture underneath skin. Place 1 to 2 lemon slices on paprika mixture under skin; carefully replace skin. Rub remaining paprika mixture over outside of skin.
3. Arrange chicken pieces in a single layer on a lightly greased wire rack in an aluminum foil-lined 17- x 12-inch jelly-roll pan.
4. Bake at 425° for 35 to 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion of each piece registers 165°. Let chicken stand 5 minutes; lightly brush with pan juices just before serving.
