- 1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 2 cups olive oil
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 head roasted garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup sweet Pimenton de la Vera (Spanish smoked paprika)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the chicken pieces in a roasting pan skin-side down. Pour the olive oil and melted butter over the chicken. Sprinkle the pieces with minced roasted garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces skin-side up and roast until the chicken is done and the skin is crispy, about 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Serve the chicken pieces with the sauce on the side for dipping.
