In order to feed a company of 3-5 people, a one and a half kilogram carcass is enough. Of course, go for a chilled one. By the way, it should always be in the refrigerator in reserve. You can put the chicken in the oven right on the baking sheet, but keep in mind that it will bake much better in a cast iron or ceramic mold, and you will get exactly crispy chicken. In glass or metal dishes, the chicken is more likely to burn, and the crust will turn out to be more black than golden.

The baking temperature is standard - 180 degrees. An hour is enough: during this time, you will tell each other about new items in cosmetics stores, show off your new handbag from the sale and tease guests with a delicious scent from the kitchen.

How to cook crispy chicken

There are several recipes, but speed and an accurate result are important to you: guests in love with your culinary skills (and, perhaps, a future mother-in-law). The simplest thing is to cut the chicken carcass in half lengthways along the breastbone and rub it generously inside and outside with black pepper. Put salt on the bottom of the baking dish - regular or sea salt, and so that you get a thick, even layer. Thanks to the salt, the meat will cook perfectly, and you will get what you want - a golden glossy shine and an amazing taste of chicken! Then put the grated carcass back on the salt layer. In an hour, the chicken is ready! If you have a grill function, turn it on 10 minutes before the chicken is ready: this will make the crust perfect.

Grilled Crispy Chicken Recipe

There is one secret for the crust to be truly crispy: the chicken should not come into contact with the fat that comes out of it. This is best avoided by placing it on the grill in the oven. Lightly wipe the washed carcass with a paper towel, also cut it in half along the breast and grease it with salt and pepper inside and out. Now grease the top with vegetable oil and - on the wire rack in a preheated cabinet!

Let the chicken sweat there at a temperature of 240 degrees for 20 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 180 degrees and leave for another hour.

Secret ingredients for the marinade

To give the chicken a special piquancy, you can grate it with sour cream or honey. These are the easiest and fastest ways. But if you have the time, you can make a complete crispy chicken marinade. Melt 30 g of butter on a fire, mix it with half a spoonful of salt, red and black pepper to taste, crush two cloves of garlic into it. Spread this mixture on the chicken and put it in the oven for half an hour, turning the lever 170 degrees. Then remove the chicken and brush it with a mixture of melted honey (4 tablespoons are enough) with lemon juice (2 tablespoons), and let it cook for another 45 minutes. You can water it with this mixture several times during baking. Always try the readiness by piercing the chicken with a fork. If liquid appears, then you need to wait another 10 minutes, and then you will definitely get a crispy chicken! In the meantime, she is baking, take care of the side dish: stewed vegetables or vitamin salad - that's it!

Whole Oven Chicken with a crispy crust is one of the family favorites. Over the years of cooking, I have accumulated many ways how to bake chicken in the oven. But this recipe is my favorite. I love it for its simplicity and excellent results! Kefir makes any meat tender and soft. Chicken marinated in kefir will be especially juicy. Even chicken breast, which is almost always dry, will turn out to be incredibly juicy and spicy in this case. But important! In addition to kefir for the marinade, I use spices and garlic. You can use any spices you like. The recipe for whole chicken in the oven with potatoes and vegetables is good because you do not need to cook a separate side dish. Together with the chicken, we will bake vegetables: potatoes, carrots, tomatoes. I advise you not to limit yourself to this list, add seasonal vegetables to them: eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers. It will be delicious! Checked! Just do not forget to salt the already cut vegetables and sprinkle with vegetable oil. You can serve chicken with vegetables and a crispy crust with summer light salads; in winter it is good to prepare low-calorie salads from canned and fresh vegetables for it.

Ingredients

• Chicken - 1 carcass (size depends on the number of servings needed);
• For the marinade:
• Kefir - 300 ml of any fat content;
• Paprika - 1 tbsp. l .;
• Special spices "for chicken" - 1 tbsp. l.
• Thyme - 1 pinch
• Salt.
• For garnish:
• Potatoes - 4-5 pcs. (medium);
• Carrots - 2 pcs. (medium);
• Tomato - 1 large;
• Garlic - 2 heads;
• Vegetable oil - 1-2 tbsp. l.

How to Cook Whole Crispy Chicken in the Oven

First, let's prepare the carcass. Rinse the chicken under running water. Let it drain a little and dry on the table, and at this time we will take care of the marinade.

We make it from kefir and spices. Peel the head of garlic and rub it on a fine grater or pass it through a press. Add a little thyme, chicken spices, salt (no more than 1 tsp). Mix everything well. Marinade is ready!

Now put the chicken in a deep bowl (always breast-side down) and fill it with marinade. If the marinade is less than necessary and the carcass is not completely covered with it, it will need to be turned over after 6 hours. A press from above is not needed, but it is worth covering it (so that moisture does not evaporate into the refrigerator). We leave the carcass to marinate overnight in the refrigerator (it should leave about 12 hours). If there is absolutely no time to wait, let it lie down for at least 1–1.5 hours at room temperature.

Before removing the carcass from the refrigerator, you should cook the vegetables. Potatoes first. We clean it and cut it into large pieces. Salt, add vegetable oil, any spices (I added only ground pepper and dried dill). Stir so that the potato pieces are evenly covered with spices and butter.

Place the potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish. I sprinkled my uniform with some sunflower oil.

Now the carrots. Cut it into circles (thickness 1–1.5 cm), salt, pour with oil. Cut the base out of the tomato, cut it lengthwise into large pieces (into 4–5 pieces), salt, pour with oil. Peel the garlic, cut it in half. Put the chopped and prepared vegetables on the potatoes.

At the chicken, we tie the legs with cotton or silicone thread and put it on the vegetables with the breast up.

Sprinkle on top with vegetable oil (or marinade) and sprinkle with spices, for example, paprika. I also put spices inside the carcass. Then the meat will be evenly spicy.

We send our form to the oven. To bake a chicken in the oven, we need 1–1.5 hours at a temperature of 180 C. If the chicken is large, it may take longer to cook it.

From time to time (about once every 25 minutes), you need to water the top of the carcass with juice. So, the crust is crispy and will not burn. If the chicken starts to brown too much on top, cover it with foil.

It's easy to check the readiness of the chicken. Pierce the carcass with a knife (or fork), if clear juice is released - the chicken is ready (cloudy - not yet).

The chicken meat tastes best in the oven. Two processes are organically combined here: boiling and frying. And all this at the same time. There are several secrets that allow you to make a wonderful chicken in the oven with This can be seen with a specific example.

Meat in breadcrumbs

The use of bread crumbs helps to ensure that the product does not dry out from the inside under the influence of high temperatures, and you can get, for example, a delicious chicken in the oven with a crispy crust. For this option, you will need the following products: for 1 chicken carcass, 1 glass of breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon of salt, garlic seasoning, ground Provencal herbs (or dried thyme), half a teaspoon of paprika and a glass of mayonnaise.

Cooking in this way is not at all difficult. For this you need:

1. Divide the chicken into portions.
2. In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients.

6. Take out the chicken, remove the foil, and put the bird back in the oven for 10 minutes.

During this time, the very desired crust is formed.

Poultry recipe

When buying a bird in a store, you cannot be completely sure that the dish from it will turn out exactly the way you want. Homemade chicken is best suited for this. Any recipes will do in this case. But it is better to use familiar or well-proven ones. For example, juicy chicken with sauce, cooked in the oven, is excellent.

Everything is done in one breath:

1. Dry the washed carcass with a napkin, and then cut it across the sternum with a knife and unfold.
2. Rub with selected aromatic spices and salt.
3. Pour a few peppercorns on a prepared baking sheet, throw a bay leaf (2-3 pieces), and lay the chicken back up on top of them.
4. Pour enough water so that it covers a third of the carcass.
5. Send the baking sheet to the oven at 220 degrees and leave it for a couple of hours until the chicken is completely cooked. Periodically, it needs to be watered with juice, which will accumulate around.
6. Remove the finished chicken from the oven, transfer to a dish, and drain the juice into a separate bowl. Pour chopped garlic there.
7. Quickly pour the resulting sauce over the hot bird and cut it into pieces. You will get a tender, ruddy homemade chicken. Sauce recipes can be slightly adjusted for yourself.

The smell of such a dish will arouse the appetite of any, even the most hungry guest. And a ruddy crust will only enhance such a desire.

More calories

Chicken is a dietary product. The processing method and various additives make it high in calories. For example, chicken with walnuts turns out to be very tasty, but dangerous for those who monitor their weight. Others can try this really chic dish. Very few products are required: for 700 grams of chicken fillet, 300 grams of peeled walnuts, salt, sunflower oil, flour and black pepper.

When all the products are in stock, you can start cooking:

1. Beat off the fillet and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs using a fork or whisk.
3. Chop the nuts at random and pour them into a plate, and put the flour on the other.
4. Dip a piece of fillet in flour, then dip in an egg and breaded well in nuts.
5. Place the workpiece in a pan with heated oil and fry well on all sides.

This chicken with walnuts is served on a plate lined with greens. Greens can also be used as a side dish.

Poultry in a spicy sauce

There is another very simple, but extremely interesting recipe. It has a rather unusual composition of ingredients: for 1 chicken, 2 dessert tablespoons of salt and sugar, some spices if desired.

The dish is prepared in 3 steps:

1. Preparing meat. Wash the chicken carcass, dry and divide into portions. If desired, sprinkle each of them with the spices chosen for this.
2. Syrup preparation. Pour dry ingredients into a hot frying pan, stir and heat until they turn into a dark thick caramel. Pour a glass of cold water into the pan and gradually heat the mixture until the thickened caramel is completely dissolved.

3 For health! Prepare the cooking twine. The main secret to roasting chicken properly in the oven is using twine.
