This chicken sits quite happily in the fridge for 24 hours to deepen the marinade flavour and darken the outside of the meat. I cook in a preheated oven or it is excellent cooked on the BBQ.
I like to buy a whole chicken and then cut it into 8-10 pieces, that way, everyone gets a bit that they like and everyone gets some crispy skin which is part of the pleasure of this chicken.
Serves 6.
Ingredients
1 x 2kg chicken, jointed into 8-10 pieces
60mls olive oil
2 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 tablespoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
Method
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, cover and leave to marinade for at least 12 hours if you can.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and spread the chicken out.
Bake for 40-50 mins until fully cooked.
Allow to sit for 20 mins if you have time.

Lovely spice mix and I hope you make use of the leftover carcasses?!
You know me Laura! I like to freeze all my carcasses and once I have a big bag, roast them up and then make stock. I can never through bones out! 🙂 Ros
I have I thought so Ros – home made chicken stock is so versatile and better than anything masquerading as it on the shelves!

Tasty, juicy and easy! I love marinated recipes that you can make ahead and just pop in the oven when its dinner time.. And this one is so mouth-watering, you’ll be saving a piece or two for yourself in the end!
