  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Method

  • Put the chicken, skin side down, in a nonstick skillet large enough to accommodate it without crowding; use 2 skillets if necessary.
  • Turn the heat to medium and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook, adjusting the heat and moving chicken pieces around as needed to brown them evenly.
  • As they become evenly golden brown on the first sidenot very dark, but crisp lookingafter about 10 minutes, turn them.
  • Season the skin with salt, pepper, and paprika and brown on the other side.
  • When nearly done, add the garlic to the skillet.
  • When browned, turn the pieces skin side down again.
  • Continue to cook, turning once or twice more if necessary, until no traces of red blood remain when you cut into a piece or two.
  • Garnish if you like and serve.
