4 culinary secrets

See below for important cooking tips.

1. For roasting chicken, it is better to use a ceramic or cast iron mold. These materials are heated gradually, the heat is evenly distributed throughout the meat, and as a result, it is well baked and does not lose juiciness. Cooking a whole chicken in a pan is not advisable. The chicken will cook much longer in a skillet, it is better to bake on a baking sheet. It will take less time.
2. Do not bake chicken directly on a baking sheet. Line it with baking paper or use deeper forms. When baking on a baking sheet, not only its surface gets dirty, but also the inner walls of the oven, which are sometimes difficult to clean.
3. If you're roasting a whole bird, don't forget to gut it, rinse it under running water, and dry it with paper towels. Without the last step, it will not be possible to get a golden crisp.
4. Cooking chicken in the oven under foil will help the meat to turn out incredibly tender and juicy. True, for this it is worth remembering a few rules. Firstly, absolutely the entire surface should be covered with foil, there should not be any “bare” pieces left. Secondly, when placing the chicken on the baking sheet, remember that the "seams" from the seams of the metal film layers should always be on top.

In fact, I don't bake a whole chicken in the oven that often. It is more convenient for us to cook it “for parts”. But sometimes, when I see a young, good, medium-sized bird in the store, it seems like that with a crispy fried crust, juicy, beautiful, and I cook. Today for you there will be three recipes with photos step by step. We will bake chicken in foil, bag (sleeve) and just like that on a baking sheet.

What you need to know before putting chicken in the oven

The baking time of a whole chicken weighing from 1 kg to 2 kg in the oven at a temperature of 180-200 ° C is 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes. After an hour, you need to pierce the chicken to the bone with a sharp knife at the junction of the leg to the carcass, see what color the juice comes out: transparent or pinkish, and decide how much more to fry or take it out of the oven.

For baking, it is better to take a broiler. In the store, in 100% of cases, this will be it. But if you got a domestic chicken, then you need to know if it was a laying hen or a broiler. Laying hens are often dry and hard, it is better to cook soup from them.

When baking, the carcass should always be placed breast down, as this is the driest meat. In this position, the juice will flow down, the breast will always be in the juice and will not dry out.

If baking without foil, a sleeve or a baking bag, it is better to wrap the tips of the wings with foil so that they do not burn.

Frozen poultry should be taken out 8-12 hours before cooking, and thawed in the refrigerator. It will be right.

To make the finished chicken look neat, the legs in front of the oven can be tied with twine.

Chicken in the oven in foil

The most win-win marinade for baked chicken is with honey and mustard. Honey is a guarantee of a crust, because under the influence of temperature, when mixed with meat juice, it caramelizes. Mustard is aroma and taste, and bitterness disappears when heated. The dish will not turn out sweet, as the sweetness of honey is compensated by the acidity of lemon juice and the taste of mustard.

Ingredients:

• chicken - 1-1.5 kg;
• lemon - 1 pc;
• honey - 100g;
• mustard - 2 tablespoons;
• salt - 1 tsp;
• a mixture of spices for chicken - 2 tsp.

How to cook a whole chicken in the oven:

1. If the chicken is already gutted, then we simply rinse it well inside and out, and then dry it dry with a towel.
   
2. We press the lemon with the palm of our hand against the table and roll it on the countertop, pressing a little. So he will give the juice better. But first, remove the zest from the lemon with a grater. Only a yellow layer, without white - it is bitter. Then we squeeze out the juice.
   
3. Pour 2 tablespoons of juice into another bowl, combine the rest with zest, mustard, spices and salt. In this mixture, we need to marinate the carcass.
   
4. We coat the carcass with a mixture, massaging and rubbing. Then leave to marinate for 2 hours or even more.
   
5. We put the foil in two layers in a deep baking sheet or baking dish, put the bird on it, tie its legs and wrap it tightly. If it suddenly breaks, wrap another layer.
   
6. We heat the oven to 200°C. Let the chicken bake for 1 hour.
   
7. After an hour, we take it out, check with a knife for readiness. When ready, mix honey with reserved lemon juice. If the honey is candied, then it must first be melted either in the microwave, or simply kept warm. Lubricate the carcass.
   
   
   
8. We put it back in the oven, no longer wrapping it in foil, for 10-15 minutes. You can turn on the grill mode. But it is imperative to keep an eye on the surface so that it does not burn, so that instead of a golden crust it does not get burnt.
   
9. Take the chicken out to a platter. To do this, it is better to use silicone gloves, if available. Or with two forks, picking up the carcass from both sides by the sides. We cut the rope on the legs and serve to your liking.
