FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
• 2.   Check that your chicken does not have any "pinfeathers". If it does, remove them with a knife or burn the ends with a match.
• 3.   Place your chicken in an ovenproof dish. Make sure to use a large enough dish. Inside the chicken, place the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
• 4.   Brush the chicken with olive oil and then sprinkle paprika over it. The goal is to have paprika on the entire skin. Note: I never add salt!
• 5.   Pour a good amount of water into the dish. This will prevent the chicken from drying out or burning.
• 6.   You can add peeled potatoes at this stage.
• 7.   Place in the preheated oven at 220°C (425°F) for 30 to 35 minutes.
• 8.   Baste the chicken. If the water has completely evaporated, it is essential to add a little more.
• 9.   Reduce the oven temperature to 190°C (375°F) and continue cooking for 15 minutes.
• 10.   Turn the chicken over to brown the other side.
• 11.   Continue cooking for 25 minutes, then turn it over again.
• 12.   At this stage, your chicken should be well cooked. If not, continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes.
