Chicken, simple, quick and delicious

Rub the chicken inside and out with salt and paprika powder. Spread margarine or vegetable cream evenly over the bottom of a casserole dish or heatproof pan and place in an oven preheated to 175°C. When the fat has melted, add the chicken and roast for 1/2 hour, then turn. Roast for another 30 minutes, basting with the fat from the dish several times. Then place it on the grill for 15 minutes, increasing the temperature to 220°C or turning on the broiler. While the chicken is crisping up on the grill, you can make a sauce from the drippings (removing some of the fat if necessary). Simply add water, bring to a boil, and thicken with a sauce thickener. The excess fat that floats on top of the sauce can be carefully skimmed off with a spoon. You can also add a dash of heavy cream or sour cream. This goes well with boiled potatoes and vegetables; I prefer red cabbage. I’ve won over everyone with this. My father-in-law always requests this dish when he comes to visit.
