Paprika roast chicken with sweet onion is a delightful dish that combines the rich, smoky flavor of paprika with the natural sweetness of roasted onions. This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or a special gathering, offering a hearty and flavorful meal. The use of spices like cinnamon and red pepper adds a unique twist, making it stand out from a traditional roast chicken.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, red pepper, and cinnamon. Mix well to create a uniform spice blend.
Pat the chicken dry using paper towels to ensure the skin is dry, which helps achieve a crispy texture. Rub the olive oil all over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Next, generously spread the spice mixture over the entire chicken, making sure to cover all sides.
Peel the onion and slice it into thick rings or wedges. Spread the onion slices evenly on the bottom of a roasting pan.
Place the seasoned chicken on top of the onion slices in the roasting pan. This will allow the flavors of the onion to infuse into the chicken as it cooks.
Put the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the meat is pierced with a knife. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken.
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and flavorful dish.
Carve the chicken and serve it with the roasted onions on the side. Enjoy your flavorful Paprika Roast Chicken with Sweet Onion!
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken is at room temperature before you start cooking for more even roasting.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to achieve a crispy skin.
- Rub the spices under the skin of the chicken as well as on the surface for better flavor penetration.
- Consider marinating the chicken overnight in the fridge to deepen the flavors.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes after roasting before carving. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat moist.
