Good Frickin' Paprika Chicken

Good Frickin' Paprika Chicken

While this is a pretty straightforward grilled chicken recipe, the vinaigrette at the end was a last minute touch that worked out nicely. I really like oil and vinegar-based sauces on grilled meats. They work beautifully with the smoky, caramelized exterior.

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons ground paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 (5 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • salt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Whisk together yogurt, garlic, 3 tablespoons paprika, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon hot chile paste, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.

Step 2
Mix in chicken pieces and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

Step 3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Step 4
Remove chicken from the bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken pieces dry with more paper towels. Season with salt.

Step 5
Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, sherry vinegar, ketchup, 1/8 teaspoon hot chile paste, pinch paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 6
Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 4 minutes with grill lid closed.

Step 7
Turn chicken and grill with lid closed until well-browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

Step 8
Spoon sherry vinegar mixture over cooked chicken and serve.
