Kyckling med paprikasås
Turn a simple chicken into a festive dish with the
help of fresh herbs and a delicious sweet pepper sauce.
4 servings
1 ¾ oz butter or margarine
6 crushed garlic cloves1 whole chicken, approx 3 lbs
2 teaspoon barbecue spice
1 large onion
3 red bell peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ¾ cups chicken bouillon
2 tablespoons tomato paste
salt, black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped leafy parsley
Heat the oven to 350F.
Mix the fat with half of the garlic. Gently lift up
the skin of the chicken and rub the meat with the garlic fat. Then rub the skin
with barbecue spice. Put the chicken in an oven-proof dish and fry in the oven
for about 1 hour 15 minutes until done. Insert a skewer into the thickest part
of the thigh – the juice should be clear, not pink or red.
Chop the onion and trim and finely chop the sweet
peppers. Heat up the oil in a frying pan and sauté onion, sweet peppers and
remaining garlic until the onion is tender. Add bouillon and tomato purée and
simmer for about 5 minutes. Mix the sauce in a food processor or mixer, pour it
back in the frying pan and heat it up. Flavour to taste with salt and pepper.
Take the chicken out when there’s 10 minutes left of
the cooking time. Mix 2 tablespoons of the pan juices with the herbs and pour
this over the chicken. Put it back in the oven and fry for the last 10 minutes
and serve with the sauce.
Enjoy!
