👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Sprinkle the chicken on all sides with the paprika, turmeric, salt and black pepper.
  2. 2
    Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveFrying pan
    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  3. 3
    Fry the chicken in a single layer 6–7 minutes per side, until it is golden and cooked through.
    Stove
    💡Chicken pieces in a single layer, left alone until the underside releases, sear and brown; in a crowded pan they release liquid and steam.
  4. 4
    Transfer the chicken to a plate. In the same pan, melt the butter and fry the garlic about half a minute, until golden.
    Stove
    💡The garlic goes into the butter only at the end, for half a minute: garlic that browns too much turns bitter.
  5. 5
    Return the chicken to the pan, drizzle the lemon juice over the top and coat it in the butter sauce.
    Stove
  6. 6
    Sprinkle the parsley on top and serve immediately.
