Baked Chicken With Smoked Paprika

By Addie

Garlic and smoked paprika help make the coating on this baked chicken flavorful. Serve this delicious chicken with potatoes and corn, along with biscuits, for a fabulous family dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 chicken, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 pounds, quartered, or chicken parts
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon Spanish smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°. Line a roasting pan or jelly roll pan with foil.

Wash chicken parts and pat dry. Arrange chicken, skin side up, on the baking pan; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

Combine remaining ingredients; rub the paste over the chicken pieces. Roast, uncovered, for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165° when inserted into the thickest part of a thigh. Juices will run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork. Remove the chicken to a serving platter; cover loosely with foil and let stand for 8 to 10 minutes before serving. Serves 4.

Very Good! This is a very good chicken recipe, and it could not get any easier than this! Not only that, but all my kids devoured it. Thanks for sharing...I will be using it over and over!

Great Chicken! I have made this three times now, twice at home for my family and once at Church for about 50 people. With brown sugar I had to be careful about burning the rub/paste, but the 400 degrees cooks the chicken nice & crispy. I added about a 1/4 tsp of seasoned salt to the rub/paste mixture and omitted sprinkling the chicken with salt. Also, I relied on a meat thermometer for the internal temperature to gauge cooking time variances between different ovens. It was a big hit with my family and the folks at church.
