Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the free-range chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the chicken with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with its own juices halfway through cooking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is roasting, chop the cabbage, slice the onion, and rinse the padrón peppers. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the cabbage and padrón peppers, cooking until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve the Dish

    Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve the carved chicken alongside the sautéed cabbage, padrón peppers, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Drizzle with spicy crema before serving.
