Crispy Roast Chicken with Paprika & Butter

Take the chicken out of the refrigerator two hours before roasting and thoroughly salt it on all sides with 1 tbsp of salt. Mix the remaining salt with the paprika powder.

Preheat the oven to 170 °C (top/bottom heat).

Pat the chicken dry. Cut the butter into two pieces and carefully slide them under the skin on the breast. Sprinkle the chicken on all sides with the salt-paprika mixture.
