When we started making this roasted chicken recipe in the Test Kitchen, everyone's mouth started watering. The delicious aroma of garlic filled the air, and our stomachs growled in anticipation. We weren't disappointed by the flavors, and you won't be either. It's the bit of paprika that gives this Garlic Roasted Chicken a little something extra. It's perfect for dinner any night of the week, but it's really great to make ahead and then take to a picnic or potluck. Everyone will want the recipe.
