Cooking with LOVE

New! by Ms Kelly Peterson, Chef and Food taster with e-recipe Book,“Cooking Inspired by Love” 

Exploring a little different way of baking a Chicken and add

spiciness to a baked chicken, this is what Kelly had tested, 

improved and tasted, and is now our favourite spicy paprika 

baked chicken! The level of spiciness in this recipe is very

lightly spicy, enough to have the spicy aroma but not enough

to burn your palate, yet not overwhelming the natural taste 

of chicken.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken  2 yellow onions chopped

4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil                                                        1 tbsp paprika

1 tbsp red chili powder (or 2 tbsp for more spiciness)             2 tsp cumin

1 tsp onion powder                                                                     1 tsp cayenne

1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp black ground pepper ¾ cup chicken stock

Preparation:

1. Wash and pat dry chicken keep in refrigerator for at least 1 hour uncovered. This would help chicken skin to be thin and crispy when baked.

2. Remove chicken from refrigerator. Mix olive oil, paprika, chilli powder, cumin, onion powder, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl and rub into chicken cavity, especially under the skin on meat and all around the skin. Twine chicken legs together and refrigerate for 1 hour before baking.

3. Pre-heat oven to 350F, lay chopped onion onto baking tray, pour ½ cup of chicken stock onto onion, and sit spiced chicken onto bed of onion. And bake uncovered for 50-60 min or when temperature of chicken reach around 145F-150F and is cooked.

4. Check chicken after 30 min of baking and if baking dish base is dry, pour remainder ¼ cup of chicken stock into dish.

5. Remove chicken from oven, scope sauce in baking dish and drizzle onto chicken and let sit for 10 min before slicing meat. Enjoy this lightly spiced baked chicken with choice of vegetables
