Pontevedra-Style Spanish Chicken

Description

My grandparents came from Pontevedra, Spain in 1920 through Ellis Island and brought this recipe with them. I grew up eating this dish and my children just love it. Of course, they never measured anything, so the measurements are just an estimate.

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 2 cups olive oil
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 head roasted garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup sweet Pimenton de la Vera (Spanish smoked paprika)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
