Chicken meat is considered the easiest to cook. One is quickly fried, well baked and tasty when cooked. However, when the whole bird is cooked, it is necessary to adhere to certain rules so that the dish is fried evenly and browned on all sides. That is why the chicken in the marinade in the oven must first marinate well, and then bake in a special sleeve.
Ingredients
For the dish you need:
- whole chicken - 1 pc.;
- mustard - 2 tables. l .;
- honey - 1 table. l .;
- salt;
- pepper;
- soy sauce - 2 tables. l .;
Spices and seasonings are selected by each cook to his own taste.
Meat preparation
First you need to thoroughly wash the bird and dry it with paper towels. If you just leave it to dry, then this process will take a lot of time. Then it is treated on an open fire to remove the remains of feathers, after which the carcass is washed and dried again.
In order for the chicken in the marinade in the oven to turn out juicy, you need to make small cuts on her skin and release part of the space under it. After this, the bird is rubbed with salt and put in a cool place for half an hour. Then rub it with black pepper, also leaving for a while. When performing these operations, it is necessary to rub the spices not only into the surface, but also inside. Particular attention should be paid to incised areas by placing salt and pepper under the skin.
Gas station
Next, marinade for chicken with mustard is prepared. To do this, mix all the spices with honey and soy sauce. Mustard itself is added there, after which the sauce should be infused for 15 minutes. After that, the bird is carefully rubbed with marinade, introducing it under the skin. In this condition, she should stand for forty minutes to soak well.
Roasting
In order for the chicken to bake well in the marinade in the oven, it should be placed in a special bag or thermal sleeve. After that, it is placed in a heated oven at a temperature of 160 degrees. This is the optimum temperature at which the meat is well baked, and will not look cooked.
In the oven, the chicken under the marinade should be forty minutes. After that, they take it out and cut the bag. In this form, the bird is again placed in the oven for another 15 minutes. So on its surface a tasty and rosy crust forms, and if the meat has not reached, then during this time it will be completely cooked. When the appointed time expires, the oven is turned off, and the bird is left for another 10 minutes.
Serving and side dishes
Usually, chicken in marinade in the oven is cooked immediately with a side dish. To do this, it is stuffed with pan-fried buckwheat porridge or potatoes with apples. You can also use rice, which must be boiled a little to a state of semi-preparedness. The dish itself is usually served hot and whole. It will serve as a real decoration of the table, and you can disassemble it immediately before use.
Baked chicken can be stored for a long time, but only when using the refrigerator. If the bird is well dried in the oven and cooked without a side dish, then you can take it with you on long trips.
