Ingredients1. 1.5 kg whole chicken
2. 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3. 3 teaspoons paprika
4. 3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
5. 2 teaspoons onion powder
6. a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
7. 1/4 cup water
Process
1. Cleanse the chicken in running water and pat it dry with a kitchen towel. Make sure, no amount of moisture remains in the chicken.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the chicken in a roasting pan.
3. In a small bowl, combine the extra-virgin oil, finely minced garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper. Stir well to make a paste and rub throughout the skin of the chicken.
4. Refrigerate the chicken for an hour or more.
5. Discard the extra dripping marinade and lay the marinated chicken over a rack.
6. Put the 1/2 cup water in the roasting pan and place the chicken rack over the roasting pan.(Take care that the chicken rack is placed considerably above the water level).
7. Roast chicken for about an hour or until you see the color change. A nice golden red color tends to appear on the chicken. Prick with a fork to test if the chicken has become tender.
8. Serve hot with fresh veggies, potatoes and pudding.
