  • About

This colourful chicken dish is made throughout Spain in an infinite number of variations. Cubed Serrano ham can replace the bacon, but the fat the latter gives off is a constant theme in the Spanish kitchen, so helps to add to its character.

Ingredients

  • 5 ml/1 tsp paprika
  • 4 free-range or corn-fed chicken portions

Method

  1. Rub paprika and salt into the chicken portions. Heat 30 ml/2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan. Put in the chicken portions, skin side down, and fry gently.
