Sticky paprika chicken
This sticky paprika chicken is all about simple ingredients that deliver big flavour. The paprika gives the chicken a warm, smoky depth, while the sticky glaze turns beautifully glossy in the oven, making every bite tender, sweet and savoury. If you love fuss‑free recipes with maximum payoff, this one’s a winner — the marinade comes together in minutes and cooks down into a rich, sticky coating that clings to the chicken.
It’s the kind of easy, comforting dish that works brilliantly any night of the week, especially when you need a speedy midweek dinner that still feels special.
