Chicken meat is very tender and delicious. It is used by cooks around the world. It is considered the easiest to prepare and at the same time dietary. However, there is an even more interesting dish of this meat - chicken with vegetables in the oven. The fact is that for its preparation young chickens are used, which are not only tender in structure, but also very juicy, in contrast to ordinary chicken.
Ingredients
To prepare the dish you will need:
- chickens - 2 pcs.;
- sour cream;
- chicken fat;
- horseradish (preferably creamy);
- garlic - 2 cloves;
- salt;
- capers;
- tomato paste;
- potatoes - 1 kg;
- black pepper.
Poultry preparation
In order for the whole chicken to bake well, it must be properly prepared. First, the chicken is carefully processed over an open fire to get rid of the remains of feathers. Then it is washed well and allowed to dry. After that, small incisions are made on the skin to gain access to the meat under it.
Then rub the bird with salt and let it brew a little. Then rub the pepper thoroughly and put chicken fat under the skin . So the chickens in the oven will be juicy and will have additional taste.
Marinade
To prepare a good coating, which will later become a terrific sauce, you should mix sour cream, horseradish, garlic, passed through a crush, and tomato paste. This marinade thoroughly rub the bird and let it brew for half an hour.
Stacking
After the chicken is pickled, it must be stuffed with potatoes, which are cut into small cubes, and capers. In this case, the vegetables need to be slightly salted and pepper. At this point, you can add other spices that will make the chicken in the oven turn into a real gastronomic masterpiece. However, one should be careful so that the sharp taste and smell do not interrupt the true value of this dish.
Roasting
After the bird has been pickled and stuffed, it must be wrapped in foil. In this case, each chicken is wrapped separately. Then they are placed in a preheated oven. Chicks are cooked in the oven at a temperature of 160 degrees for thirty minutes. After that, they unfold and fry for another 15 minutes to get a golden crust. Also, in this way they get rid of internal moisture in vegetables, preparing them. When the bird has cooked, it is laid out on separate plates, pouring the remaining gravy.
Innings
Chickens cooked in the oven are served on a separate dish in a separate dish. Then they are cut and vegetables are taken out, which will serve as a side dish. If desired, they can be replaced with buckwheat porridge, but before being placed inside the bird, it must be slightly fried in a pan until a crackling sound appears. Rice is also good, but it is better to boil it separately.
This dish is served hot as the main one. However, even cold, it has excellent taste. Dry red wine and strong drinks are perfect for chickens. As a sauce, curry or pineapple based gravy is best.
