1 whole organic chicken, cut into 8 pieces

  • 1 tablespoon ghee or tallow
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Preparation:

    1. Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
    2. Spice It Up: In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken pieces.
    3. Sizzle and Sear: Heat the ghee or tallow in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the fat is hot, sear the chicken pieces, skin-side down, until golden brown and crispy.
    4. Roast to Perfection: Transfer the seared chicken to a roasting pan. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
    5. Serve and Savor: Remove the roasted chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

    Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

    Serving Ideas:

    The Primal Plate: Serve the roasted chicken with a side of roasted root vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, and potatoes.

  • The Mediterranean Feast: Pair the chicken with a Greek salad, featuring crisp cucumbers, ripe tomatoes, kalamata olives, and feta cheese.
  • The Asian Fusion: Accompany the chicken with a side of stir-fried bok choy and a drizzle of soy sauce.
