Pontevedra-Style Spanish Chicken image

My grandparents came from Pontevedra, Spain in 1920 through Ellis Island and brought this recipe with them. I grew up eating this dish and my children just love it. Of course, they never measured anything, so the measurements are just an estimate.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 cups olive oil
½ cup butter, melted
1 head roasted garlic, minced
¼ cup sweet Pimenton de la Vera (Spanish smoked paprika)
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 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.

This was the worst chicken dish I have ever had. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was tasteless. I will never make this recipe again.
