Make sure you use the best quality smoked paprika you can find, it makes all the difference. I like this with fast saute green beans with garlic. Ingredients:
2 tbsp smoked paprika |
2 tbsp honey |
1 tbsp lemon juice |
1 tbsp softened butter |
2 teaspoons garlic salt (or 1 teaspoon salt plus 1 teaspoon garlic powder) i prefer the fresh garlic approach |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 whole 4-5 pound roasting chicken |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Rinse the chicken off with cold water. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels (otherwise the paste won't stick).
2. Mix together the paprika, honey, lemon juice, butter, garlic salt, and pepper. Spread over the entire surface of the chicken and place on a shallow baking pan.
3. Bake at 325°F for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. You may need to adjust the time depending on how big your chicken is. The chicken is done when the juices run clear (not pink) when a knife tip is inserted into both the chicken breast and thigh, about 165-170°F for the breast and 180-185°F for the thigh
4. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes.
