Title: Chicken With Paprika, Lemon, & Soy Sauce
Categories: British, Chicken
Yield: 4 Servings
1 Chicken; about 1.5 to 1.75
-kg (3-1/2 to 4 lb)
1 cl Garlic; halved
150 ml Olive oil (5 fl oz)
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1 Fresh thyme sprig; chopped
2 tb Paprika; heaping
2 tb Plain flour
3 Lemons; juice of
50 ml Soy sauce (2 fl oz)
50 g Unsalted butter (2 oz)
Pre-heat the oven to 200 C / 425 F / gas 7.
Cut the chicken into eight pieces; split the legs in half; remove the
breasts from the carcass and cut each into two pieces. Rub the chicken
pieces with the garlic and some of the olive oil. Season with salt and
pepper and sprinkle with chopped thyme. Mix the paprika and flour
together and cover the chicken pieces liberally with the mixture. Mix
together the lemon juice and soy sauce and cover the chicken with
half this mixture.
Pre-heat a large flameproof baking pan and add some of the olive oil
and half the butter. Add the chicken and fry over high heat to crisp
the skin until it is almost burnt black. Turn the chicken pieces in
the pan and add the remaining lemon juice and soy sauce and a little
more of the paprika mix. Place in the pre-heated over for about 20
minutes, by which time the chicken will have a very crisp skin.
Remove the chicken from the pan and drain the liquor through a sieve
into another pan. Warm this liquor and add the remaining butter. The
sauce will now almost have a sweet and sour taste from the lemon, soy
sauce and paprika. Simply pour it over the chicken and serve. Or, if
you are serving the dish with mashed potatoes, divide the potato
between individual plates, sit the chicken on top, and pour the
juices over.
Notes:
Goes well with mashed potatoes, which can be spiced up with a little
olive oil, chopped onion, garlic, or even chopped parsley.
