- 2. Place chicken pieces in the pan. Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper and paprika.
- 3. Wrap the chicken in foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 1/5 hours.
- 4. Remove chicken from foil, drain off broth into a small sauce pan.
- 5. Place chicken on a rack, uncovered turn each piece so that the bottom side is up. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes until skin gets golden and crispy. Turn chicken and bake for another 10 minutes with the tops exposed.
- 6. Mean while, heat broth in small sauce pan and salt to taste. Thicken with 3 Tbsp. flour mixed with 4 Tbsp. water to make a slurry. Stir over medium high heat until desired thickness.
Tips:
- Use a whole chicken for a more flavorful dish. If you're using a chicken breast, be sure to season it well with salt and pepper before baking.
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the chicken. This will help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly throughout.
- Roast the chicken on a baking sheet or in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and make cleanup easier.
- Baste the chicken with melted butter or olive oil every 20 minutes or so. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
