SorrelZG Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have no idea what I am doing. I googled for substitutes but I am without any herb/spice bottles that say cayenne or chili. I have no hot sauce. I did find this one that said crushed red pepper but that wasn't on the list of substitutes. This is what i was trying to throw together: http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-tasty-baked-chicken-234622 Should I find a new recipe instead?

JoJosMom Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Crushed red pepper is going to be considerably hotter than sweet red paprika. I wouldn't do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carriede Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Nope. Very different. I might add 1 tsp or less of the red pepper to "substitute" the paprika, but it will not taste the same. But should still be tasty. And you could leave it out all together if you don't like hot things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsTheDay Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I don't find paprika to have that much of a taste, unless it's smoked paprika, which I find disgusting. You could replace the paprika with a teaspoon of chili powder (not using the whole tablespoon called for in the recipe). I cook a lot and am comfortable subbing ingredients when I can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 I love hot things. But I have no idea what I am doing in the kitchen and am not feeling experimental if y'all aren't giving a hearty thumbs up. I will search for another plan. I am just so bored with my hand full of recipes that I don't even want to eat, let alone cook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no chili. :( I am putting this stuff on the shopping list for next week. Obviously I need more spice in my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Paprika is a dried sweet red pepper. You could leave it out. If you want spicy, use about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne. Definitely not a tablespoon. You'd kill people! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
