The smoked paprika chicken, crispy and golden on the outside and soft and succulent on the inside, is a tasty version of the more common baked chicken.
I bought yellow chicken thighs and drumsticks and asked the butcher to separate them [so as to have divided thighs and drumsticks] and to remove the skin [chicken skin is very fatty, so it is advisable to remove it before cooking].
I marinated them with white wine [alternatively lemon juice] and seasoned with a mix of herbs and smoked paprika.
The smoked paprika, with its slightly spicy taste and fruity aroma, adds a smoky aroma to the dish reminiscent of barbecue sauce.
… deliciously fragrant and tasty!
