The recipe uses a mixture of skin on bone in chicken thighs and drumsticks...I had a couple of bags of chicken drumsticks in the freezer so decided to use them to make this recipe.
The chicken ends up beautifully tender with a smoky sweet finish. The sliced onions are delicious - some are tender and juicy having cooked in the red wine vinegar and some have lovely crispy edges. Finally, the garlic will easily squeeze out of their skins and be soft and sweet. A delicious combination!
Tips
- Chillies – be careful when eating the chillies…they may be pretty hot!!
- This paprika roast chicken recipe can easily be adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
