Ingredients
- 1 approximately 4 pounds Whole chicken
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This helps ensure a crispy skin.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Place the chicken in a roasting pan or a large baking dish.
Step 5
Using your hands or a brush, rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to cover all sides. You can also gently lift the skin and apply some of the marinade underneath for more flavor.
Step 6
Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wing tips under the body to prevent them from burning.
Step 7
Place the chicken in the preheated oven and roast for 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Step 9
Serve the Keto Frango Assado with your favorite low-carb sides, such as a green salad or roasted vegetables.
