- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Preparation
1. Marinate the chicken
- In a large bowl, mix the vinegar with the salt and a little water.
- Prick the chicken with toothpicks to help the marinade penetrate the meat. Dip the whole chicken into this mixture and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. This will help tenderize the meat and enhance its flavor.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, remove the toothpicks and pat dry with kitchen paper.
2. Prepare the tasty sauce
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, mustard, chili flakes, oregano, garlic powder and paprika.
- Reserve this mixture to brush the chicken before cooking.
3. Prepare the roasted vegetables
- In a large bowl, place the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, onion, zucchini and peppers.
- Add the salt, black pepper, paprika and dried parsley.
- Drizzle with olive oil and mix well so that all the vegetables are coated with the seasonings.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake the vegetables for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Cook the chicken
- Heat enough oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer to 180°C.
- Fry the whole chicken until golden and crispy on the outside.
- Brush the chicken with the tasty sauce and bake at 180°C for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to blend and the skin to caramelise.
5. Serve and enjoy
- Serve the chicken hot along with the roasted vegetables.
- You can accompany it with a little more of the tasty sauce to intensify the flavor.
- Enjoy this dish that will surprise everyone at your table!
Additional Tips
- Vinegar not only adds flavor, but it helps break down the fibers in the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy chicken.
- You can use apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar for a milder flavor.
- If you want a healthier version, you can cook the chicken in the oven instead of frying it, at 180°C for 40-45 minutes.
Now it’s your turn to try this recipe and surprise your family with a chicken full of flavor and unmatched texture!
