Chicken with paprika in the oven

6 servings

180 minutes

Oven-baked chicken with paprika is a classic European dish that combines simplicity of preparation with rich flavor. Marinated in a mixture of garlic, paprika, salt, and olive oil, the chicken develops a golden crust and aromatic spice. Paprika adds a warm, slightly sweet note while garlic complements the rich taste of the meat juices. The dish is baked slowly, allowing the spices to penetrate deeply into the meat, making it juicy and tender. It is a wonderful treat for family dinners or festive gatherings and is served with vegetables, fresh herbs or light side dishes. The simplicity of ingredients makes it accessible and versatile while its rich flavor is unforgettable.
