Kentucky Marinated Chicken and Paprika Potatoes & Carrots

So from first glance I already know that this type of dish requires a different plate to serve it in. Possibly even something not flat but bowl shaped, so that the juice doesn't go everywhere. The Chicken was cooked in a Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey BBQ sauce with lime juice, water, shallots and garlic over low heat. The important part though about cooking like this is making sure that the pan remains over low to medium heat. The Potatoes and carrots are done in my new favorite way. By making a simple sauce of butter, home made chicken stock, shallots and smoked Spanish paprika the flavor of the vegetables intensifies. On a side note I did make a very useful discovery, pertaining to carrots and smoked paprika. But before I go into it some people have been asking me the importance of certain spices and whether or not it really matters, like for example Smoked Paprika from Spain. I believe that it depends on who you are. Obviously if we are talking about something that is very expensive in your country to get, that I would say don't worry about it. However it does make a difference. Smoked Paprika from Spain and regular smoked paprika from a typical brand from the store have a difference in potency. You will get a similar taste but the flavors may not be as strong. The good thing is you will never notice until you have tried the better alternative.
My main point about this was basically about the relationship between carrots and Smoked Paprika. They are a perfect match, both having a sweet essence to them that is not sugary or unnatural but rather similar and very good.
