Preparation
- 1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel.
2) Combine oil, rosemary, garlic, pepper, paprika, and salt in a small bowl and mix well until it becomes a paste.
3) Rub chicken on both sides with paste mixture, place in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
4) Spray heavy roasting pan or iron skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
5) Place chicken in pan or skillet and bake for 10 minutes. Turn chicken over once. If drippings begin to stick to pan, stir in 3-4 tablespoons of water or wine (optional).
6) Bake chicken an additional 10 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 160 degrees F and the juices run clear.
7) Every few minutes check the pan. If it is dry, stir in another 1-2 tablespoons
water or wine to loosen the drippings.
8) Stir the liquid in the pan and drizzle over the chicken.
