Prepare and Bake the Chicken
-
Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
-
Prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the chickens down flat on the sheet pan.
-
Place two hands on the top of the chicken over the breast bone. Apply pressure until you feel the breast bone crack, allowing you to lay the chicken completely flat.
-
Use your fingers to gently separate the skin from the flesh.
-
Rub preserved limes and garlic directly onto the flesh. Sprinkle in some black pepper, and then replace the skin so that as little flesh as possible is exposed.
-
Drizzle olive oil over the top of both chickens. Sprinkle paprika and a little more black pepper over the top.
-
Place in the oven and cook for about 45 minutes to an hour until the chicken is golden brown and the skin is crispy!
