Ingredients




1tbsp. paprika powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp coriander
1 tsp.lemon zest
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 sprigs rosemary
3-4pcs. bay leaves
2 cloves garlic

Preparation

1 To prepare the chicken seasoning or rub, combine paprika powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper, lemon zest and minced fresh rosemary. Using some force, press the ingredients with the pestle and set aside. 2 I always wash my chicken before marinating it. Just wash it with cold water and dry it thoroughly. 3 In a large bowl or baking dish, rub the chicken with the seasoning mixture that you just created. Coat the outer part of the chicken and the cavity as well. Make sure that it's completely coated. 4 Insert the bayleaves, garlic and the second sprig of rosemary into the cavity. Cover with a plastic wrap and marinate for 2-3 hours, or overnight. 5 Preheat your oven into 200 C Degrees. 6 Take out the marinated chicken and rub 2tbsp. of butter. 7 Transfer the marinated chicken into a baking dish and roast it for 110 minutes. 8 Serve it with boiled baby potatoes and salad. En guete!
