Portuguese Style Roast Chicken | How To Make Portuguese Chicken At Home With Delicious Creamy Sauce

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.

Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin for maximum flavor.

Place the quartered onion inside the cavity of the chicken.

In a roasting pan, arrange the baby potatoes and carrots around the chicken.

Pour the white wine into the bottom of the roasting pan.

Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan.

Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking for added moisture.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
