Most often, chicken in the oven is stuffed with apples. The result is an amazing golden crust, and the aroma of apples can not be replaced with anything. Such a dish can be served not only to your family, but also to guests at the festive table. To cook it, you need to take a chicken weighing about 2 kg. It must be thoroughly washed and feathers and entrails removed. Then we rub the chicken carcass on all sides with salt. You can use coarse salt. Sprinkle the chicken with pepper and seasonings at your discretion. You can use special seasonings for chicken or pick them yourself. To make the dish beautiful, add a little sweet paprika. Rub the carcass on all sides and even inside. Next, peel about four cloves of garlic. One of them is cut into large slices and laid inside the chicken. The rest is passed through a press and we rub the carcass with the resulting mixture. We clean the onion, cut into large pieces and put it inside. Apples need to be washed, core and cut into medium segments. Then we stuff the chicken carcass with them.
We take the culinary thread and sew up the chicken, and then tie its legs. We start the wings by the carcass, so that during cooking they do not burn. Next, lay the chicken carcass on a baking sheet and send it to the oven. We set the temperature to about 200 degrees. Ovens cook for about 2.5 hours. To make the dish turn golden with a golden crust, sometimes you need to pour chicken with fat, which was released during frying. It will also make it juicy and tender.
We take the chicken out of the oven and let it stand for a while. Then we remove the threads and beautifully arrange the dish. To do this, take out the apples and lay them around the chicken. Chicken carcass can be cut into portions. Sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve.

Put the chicken in the boiling broth and let it boil again. We take out the chicken and wipe it dry with a towel. Salt the carcass and rub it with oil. Inside the carcass you also need to put a piece of butter, then the chicken will be juicier. Put it in the oven. Before the end of cooking, spread the carcass with an egg and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Fry the chicken in a preheated oven at medium temperature. We take out the finished chicken, chop and serve with vegetables.
You can cook grilled chicken in the microwave. To do this, rub the carcass with spices and seasonings, salt. It is advisable to wrap the chicken legs with foil. Only secure it very carefully. We spread the chicken on a wire rack, placing a plate under it where the fat will drain. We turn on the mode "only microwaves" and full power. Cook for about 10 minutes. Then turn on the combi-2 mode and fry for 10 minutes on each side. Next, turn off the microwave, but we get the chicken only after 2-3 minutes. The process does not take much time. Chickens in the oven roast for much longer. But how to cook chicken, everyone chooses to his taste.
