Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Rub the oil over the chicken, then the spice mix.
- 2
Spread the chicken on a rack set over a roasting tin. Roast for 50 minutes, turning once, until the skin is crisp and a skewer shows clear juices.
50 min - 3
Meanwhile whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, horseradish, lemon juice, sugar, coarse pepper and cayenne until smooth. It should be pourable, so add a splash of water if needed.
- 4
Put the chicken under a hot grill for 3 minutes to char the edges.
3 min - 5
Toss the hot chicken in half the sauce, then serve the rest on the side for dipping.
