This recipe for sweet-and-smoky roast chicken is bursting with smoky flavor, which mostly comes from the smoked paprika. It gives the chicken its flame-kissed flavor! This key ingredient is made from sweet red peppers that are smoked and dried, so it’s not quite spicy, but the smoky flavor is definitely bold, so use it sparingly. What is spicy, however, is the siracha, so that's one thing you should be aware of when cooking. Siracha also brings an inherent sweetness, which works well in conjunction with the brown sugar that's included here. It takes about two hours to make this recipe for six, and during that time, the flavors are seeping further into the dish. When it comes time to devour, you won't be disappointed.
