We bake chicken quarters rather than an intricate dish, sour cabbage, but because of its ordinariness, it does not lose its enormous gustatory appeal. Chicken meat baked under sauerkraut in the oven is juicy, and sauerkraut neutralizes the increased fat content of chicken quarters.

Preparing the chicken.

We bake chicken quarters, sour cabbage, only after careful preparation of all components of the dish.

First, we wash the chicken quarters with cold water, remove the remnants of feathers and keratinized skin. Place the chicken pieces in a colander to drain excess water. Then, if necessary, separate the chicken thigh and leg and put them in a bowl.

In a dry deep plate, mix table salt, black pepper and your favorite seasonings for the second course, bake chicken quarters, sour cabbage.

We rub the dry mixture into pieces of chicken with our hands, rub all of it into the meat, such a task is not worth it, that it is sprinkled, then it is sprinkled and it is not necessary to pick it up.

Put the mayonnaise of your choice in another plate and rub chunks of chicken with it liberally for a dish, bake chicken quarters, sour cabbage.

Lubricate a baking sheet with sunflower oil and place the prepared chicken parts on it.

We bake chicken legs in the oven.

We turn on the oven for heating and bring its temperature to 180-190 0 С.

Now we turn to sauerkraut, if it is too sour or salty, then put it in a colander and rinse in cold running water. But do not get too carried away with this, otherwise the cabbage will become completely bland, and the taste of the dish we bake chicken quarters, sour cabbage, will not change for the better.

Pour the chicken evenly with the prepared cabbage, and put the baking sheet with the dish in the oven. We bake for thirty to forty minutes, and immediately serve!

For the second course, we purchase:

- chicken quarters (three pieces)

- sour cabbage (four hundred grams)

- table salt (to taste, I take a little less than a tablespoon)

- ground black pepper (to taste, I take a little less than a teaspoon)

- seasonings (optional)

- mayonnaise (if necessary, about two to three tablespoons)

We mix:

- seasonings

- chicken

We wash:

- poultry parts

- cabbage

Sprinkle, coat the chicken with spices, seasonings, mayonnaise.

Place the chicken in shape, add the cabbage.

Chicken meat is always tasty and healthy, since it is dietary. The recipe is very simple and doesn't take a lot of your time. When cooking, you can use any part of the chicken (, thighs), the emphasis here is shifted to the gravy for the meat, which gives an attractive look to your dish. The main component of the sauce is grapefruit, which is finely chopped. Then fry the garlic in butter with sugar and add our fruit at the end. The sauce turns out to be very spicy with an amazing aftertaste. A slight bitterness of grapefruit with a combination of caramel sugar is felt. In the process of cooking, much sugar is not used, which means that the sauce will be low-calorie. People who care about their figure can safely include it in their diet.

Required Ingredients:

• 700 grams chicken quarters
• 20 ml olive oil
• 40 grams of butter
• one grapefruit
• 10 grams of sugar
• 7-8 grams of sesame seeds
• garlic
• ground black pepper

Cooking process:

1. Be sure to wash the chicken quarters in water. Season with a little pepper and salt.
   

   

2. Preheat the frying pan. For frying, it is better to use butter or olive oil, it is undesirable to use sunflower oil. For 10 minutes, lightly fry the meat in a skillet over low heat, turning it alternately.
   

   

3. At the same time, you can start making the sauce. We need a juicy grapefruit, 40 grams of butter, 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and 3-4 cloves of garlic.
   

   

4. Peel the fruit and cut the pulp into cubes.
   

   

5. We take the frying pan from the stove as soon as a light golden crust appears on the meat.
   

   

6. Place the chicken in a baking dish and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes. You can turn on the convection mode, which will significantly shorten the baking time of the meat. The baking temperature should be between 180-200 degrees Celsius.
   

   

7. Melt the butter in a skillet and add finely chopped garlic for frying.
   

   

8. After 2 minutes, pour our chopped grapefruit into the pan, add sugar, stir all the time over medium heat. After 7-8 minutes, the sauce will begin to thicken. Pour into a gravy boat.

I love oven baked chicken. Fragrant, with a golden crust, with garlic. I usually cook this dish when the children come to visit. And for myself I am doing a simplified version, which I want to tell you about.

Wash two chicken quarters thoroughly. If there is such a need, I burn the feathers and a yellow film on the shins.

I mix salt, pepper and garlic (you can use chicken seasoning or other favorite seasonings).

I stuff the chicken with this mixture and rub it.

I am preparing a mustard-honey sauce, for this I use American mustard (or another mild, sweet and sour) and honey.

I used this mustard in the sauce. This is a novelty of TM Torchin. It is not spicy, but sour for my taste, so it is ideal for marinating and roasting meat.

I add some salt and pepper. If you have salted and pepper enough chicken, then you can without salt and pepper.

I rub chicken quarters with this sauce and put them in a heat-resistant glass baking dish.

Ideally, the chicken should sit for several hours in the refrigerator for marinating. But I didn't.

There was a lot of fat on the chicken, so I cut it off and put it on the bottom of the mold, which I later regretted. There was too much fat. But this did not affect the taste of the chicken.

I put it in the oven for 1 hour at a temperature of 180 degrees.

So that is all. The supper is ready.

It turned out delicious. Fried crust with sweet and sour taste, juicy meat with garlic.
I ate only half. Stopped in time. After all, it is already 21.30. And she made herself a promise not to eat after 18 and did not keep it.

Gutted carcasses can also be sold with a set of giblets and a neck embedded in them (this was the case in the USSR), i.e. for the hostess in the kitchen, they seem to be half-gutted, tk. what was seized with complete gutting was nevertheless put back :) The broth, cooked not just from a carcass or a soup set, but with the presence of offal in it, in my personal opinion, is much tastier.
