Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300F.
Mix together the butter, garlic, paprika, salt/pepper and chili flakes.
Rub the butter mixture over the chicken. Tie the legs together with chicken twine. Place the chicken in an oven safe dish (a cast iron skillet or roasting pan). Place the dish in the oven and let it cook for 2½ hours, basting it every 30 minutes.
When the chicken is done roasting, sprnkle the parmesan cheese over the chicken. Switch the oven to broil and place the chicken under the broiler. Once the cheese starts bubbling (about 2 minutes) remove from the oven. Let it cool slightly before serving.
