Ingredients:

  • chicken – 1 piece;
  • butter (can be replaced with sour cream) – 0.05 kg;
  • salt and seasoning for meat - to taste.

Preparation:

  1. Rinse the chicken thoroughly. Then blot off excess moisture with napkins. This is a must if you want a crispy crust.
  2. Cut a small piece of butter (about 50 g). Heat a dry frying pan on gas, then put oil on it.

Now you can definitely cook chicken in the oven using many interesting recipes. Make your loved ones happy, don’t be afraid to experiment with side dishes. Cook with love!

Good afternoon dear readers. Agree, rarely does anyone refuse aromatic and juicy baked chicken. Yes, this dish is really very tasty and beautiful. But not everyone knows how to cook it deliciously, so that the meat turns out juicy, fried, and with a fried crust.

Recently, many have begun to cook it, and not duck or goose. As I understand it, this is due to the fact that this bird has become more than accessible. Well, you must admit that today it is easier and cheaper to find and buy a chicken carcass than a duck or goose. Well, at least in my region this is true, and I live in the Krasnodar region.

And so we bought the bird, now we need to cook it so that just the sight of the dish will make the guests’ mouths water. In fact, there is nothing complicated about this. Below are several simple recipes for cooking chicken in the oven, from which I want you to choose the one you like best and prepare this dish today. And let this recipe be only yours.

Of course, without a doubt, poultry will be much tastier than store-bought, but not everyone has the opportunity to keep chickens at home, so most often many people buy them in the store already cut up and prepared.

  • It is better to take the carcass in a bag so that the external factor of bacterial penetration is excluded.
    If you find punctures or cuts on the carcass, it is better to refuse the purchase. This is the first sign that the meat is laden with chemicals.
  • When you press on the fibers, they should return to their previous shape. If this does not happen, the meat is not fresh.
  • Of course, pay attention to expiration dates. If the shelf life is more than 2-3 weeks, then this is also a sign that the chicken will contain chemicals.

And so now we have the right meat and it needs to be cooked correctly and tasty.

Ingredients:

  • Carcass 1 pc.
  • Garlic 1-2 cloves
  • Apples 2-3 pcs.
  • Pepper
  • Vegetable oil
  • Seasoning for chicken

Cooking process:

Before cooking, the carcass should be visually inspected and if there are remains of feathers or entrails, it is better to get rid of them. Rinse well again and allow excess water to drain.

We pass the garlic through a press, mix it with vegetable oil and coat the carcass with the mixture for the last time. We leave it in this position for an hour or two so that the meat is properly marinated. Can be covered with cling film.

Rinse the apples well, remove the core and cut one apple into large slices into about 5-6 pieces. However, the number of slices will depend on the size of the apple itself.

Now we sew the chicken up or pin it with toothpicks. The hole must be closed so that all the juice from the meat and apples remains inside.

Next, preheat the oven to 200 degrees and set the dish to cook for about 1-2 hours. Cooking time depends on the size of the carcass. After the allotted time, you need to carefully pierce the chicken and see what color the juice will be; if it’s still reddish, you need to bake it some more. And if the juice is white and the meat is white, the chicken is ready. It remains to hold it for another 10-15 minutes so that a golden brown crust forms.

This delicacy is best served hot. And if there is any leftover, you can always heat it up in a frying pan or in the microwave. Bon appetit.

Chicken with apples in a baking sleeve

You can also cook it in a baking sleeve. The sleeve will not allow the meat to dry out and it will remain tender and juicy. You can put apples and vegetables in the sleeve past the carcass. It will turn out very tasty.

Ingredients:

  • Medium size chicken
  • Allspice
  • Apples 2-3 pcs.
  • Vegetable oil
  • Sleeve for baking

Cooking process:

Before frying a chicken carcass in the oven, it is better to marinate it first. We will prepare the marinade from salt, pepper and vegetable oil. You can add your favorite seasonings if you wish. Rub the carcass with salt and pepper both outside and inside. And of course, we coat it with vegetable oil so that all the aromas and smells are sealed in the meat.

Next, cut the apples and place them tightly in the chicken. You should not tamp the fruit with great force, as during cooking the bird will become smaller in size and may crack from a large number of apples.

If the apples are not quite sweet, add a couple of tablespoons of granulated sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon (optional, of course).

Don’t forget that the carcass must be sewn up. Or prick with regular toothpicks. I use ordinary threads. Since after cooking they are easily removed and do not remain in the dish.

And so we place the chicken stuffed with apples in a baking sleeve, tie the sleeve on both sides and leave this story to marinate for 30-40 minutes. The longer it lasts, the better.

Then preheat the oven and place the chicken in it. Cooking should be at a temperature of 180-200 degrees. Approximate cooking time is about 1-2 hours. Before putting in the oven, make 3-5 punctures in the sleeve. So that hot air comes out.

At the very end of cooking, open the sleeve and place the carcass in the oven again for 20-30 minutes. This is necessary in order for an appetizing crust to form.

Place the pan on the lowest floor of the oven and turn it on.

With this method of cooking, we place the chicken in a cold oven, since a sharp temperature change can cause the glass to crack and all your efforts will be in vain. Preheat our oven to a maximum temperature of 200-250 degrees and bake the chicken for about an hour. This is what she looks like after 20-30 minutes.

How to deliciously bake chicken in the oven? It would seem that every housewife should have dozens of answers to this question. But often the meat turns out dry or tough, is not cooked at all, or the crust remains faded. What to do? Follow our tips and write down simple and delicious recipes for your perfect chicken!


A whole carcass cooked in the oven will decorate even a festive table. The beauty of this dish is its richness and quantity. After all, one chicken can feed a whole company. And if you add vegetables to it, you get an excellent solution for a side dish. But in order for both the taste and appearance of the carcass to be ideal, it is important to know the secrets of choosing and preparing poultry.

5 secrets of delicious chicken

The delicate taste of the dish is guaranteed if you carefully choose the carcass. Only fresh meat will be soft, juicy and expressively aromatic. When purchasing, pay attention to medium-sized birds, weighing up to 1.5 kg. They do not have a thick layer of fat, and the meat itself has a higher nutritional value. The calorie content of chicken baked in the oven will be minimal in this case (about 190 Kcal per 100 grams of weight). And the benefits and pleasure are enormous.

You will be pleased with the rich taste of the dish prepared taking into account our recommendations.


  1. Choose a fresh carcass with an even skin color. It should be pale yellow or slightly pinkish in color. The protruding fat should be white, the tissues should be elastic (when pressed, they quickly return to shape). The smell is slightly sweet, without an unpleasant amber.

  2. Baking chicken in the oven should take place in a special container. If you have an old cast iron skillet left over, this will work perfectly. The ceramic container also heats up evenly and retains heat well. Forms made of glass and thin metal will be less successful. In the latter, the meat often burns. You can also purchase a special stand in which the baking process occurs vertically. This allows the fat to drip down, allowing the crust to dry out well.

  3. How long to bake chicken in the oven depends on its weight. On average, it is enough to provide 40 minutes for each kilogram of weight. The temperature of frying chicken in the oven should be 180-200°. That is, a bird weighing 1.5 kg will cook in 1 hour. Parts of the same size carcass, for example, only drumsticks or only thighs, are cooked much faster. You can bake half a chicken in the oven in 30-35 minutes.

  4. To get a rich, crispy crust, the temperature of the chicken in the oven will need to be varied. First, set the maximum for 30 minutes so that the crust “sets.” And the remaining time is baked at 200°. How long to cook the chicken in the oven in this case, you need to determine using a kitchen thermometer or visually. The thermometer is inserted into the thickness of the breast and thigh. These parts are considered ready if their temperature is 70 and 80 degrees, respectively. If you don't have a thermometer, a toothpick will help. Pierce the meatiest part of the carcass with it. Light juice will indicate that the dish can be removed from the oven.

  5. Chicken baked in the oven will be evenly juicy if you place pieces of butter under the skin on the breast. This part of the carcass does not have a fat layer, so it usually turns out dry when roasting the whole bird.

To ensure that the chicken cooks evenly, you need to turn it regularly. Place it in the oven on its side. After 15 minutes, turn it over to the other side, and after another 15, place it breast side up. Baking on a wire rack will provide a similar result. In this case, there is no need to turn the carcass over, but you should place a form under the grill to collect the fat.

  4. Fry the pieces in vegetable oil over high heat. The crust should become golden.

  5. Place them in a baking dish and top with butter.

  6. Bake at 200° for 40 minutes.

Now you know how to properly bake chicken in the oven. You can always serve it with fresh or baked vegetables, leafy greens, and homemade pickles.

Birds, but it’s better to bake it whole in the oven with spices, vegetables or fruits. The tasty and aromatic dish is ready - the guests are happy, and the hostess gets all the praise.

In this article I will offer you simple and tasty recipes that are not difficult to prepare at home, for every taste. Try to cook according to them, each option is worthy of attention.

It is recommended to bake prepared poultry at a temperature of no more than 180 degrees. This temperature is not chosen by chance, because a whole chicken needs to stay in the oven for quite a long time, and strong heat at a high temperature will quickly dry out the meat and fry the skin. Higher temperatures are acceptable for foods in a sleeve.

The legs of the bird must be tied, tied with a thread, pressed against the carcass, in this case they will not burn. The wings are also either tucked under the back or stuffed with fruits or vegetables. If you do not do this, then you should wrap the outer fragments of the wings and legs with small pieces of foil.

In addition, to evenly fry the surface of the chicken, every 15 minutes you need to pour juice from the bottom of the dish on top of it, then it will end up beautifully fried, and also very juicy and tasty.

There are no problems with baking in electric ovens. If you have a gas oven, I recommend covering the bird with a piece of foil during cooking, securing the edges to the sides of the pan. This will save it from drying out, since gas dries out the meat very much. 15-20 minutes before turning off the oven, remove the foil and pour the juice over the chicken and bake until golden brown. Good luck!
