This is the first time I have ever used a brime. I had never even heard of it. LOL It really turned out good and tender. It just didn't get brown. I left it in the oven for 60 min. It tasted really good, but couldn't taste the paperika at all. I even added extra. I will be useing this again, though.

Very good tender chicken which we enjoyed. I used "hot salt" for the seasoning salt but I still felt that it needed a bit more seasoning. Thanks for sharing!
