Chicken in mayonnaise in the oven - 48 cooking recipes

There are many ways to cook chicken in mayonnaise. Starting from marinating in it and ending with baking in the oven or stewing in a frying pan. Mayonnaise can be anything: homemade, purchased, lean, full-fat, with olive or sunflower oil, with milk or eggs, chicken or quail eggs - everything is up to the cook’s choice.

The tastiest thing is to bake chicken in mayonnaise. The sauce, applied in a thin layer to its surface, firstly, gives an appetizing crust, and secondly, softens the meat and gives it a special flavor. In most cases, mayonnaise is mixed with garlic or other aromatic spices. If the chicken is baked whole, then it must be salted inside and outside. If there is enough salt in the mayonnaise, then add salt only inside. The sauce is applied to the skin of the chicken. Sometimes it is recommended to leave the carcass like that for 10-15 minutes. Or you can immediately send it to an oven preheated to 180C. The baking time depends on the power of the oven and its type, gas or electric. These subtleties will already be described directly in the recipes for chicken in mayonnaise.

The second most popular cooking method is stewing in a frying pan. In this case, mayonnaise is the basis for a more complex sauce. But it can also be used on its own. In the first case, it is mixed with water and spices to taste. In the second, it is added to chopped chicken with onions and other vegetables, if available. Water is added as needed.

The third cooking method is frying. It can be considered the simplest. Mayonnaise here acts as a batter or leison. You can also add other spices, vegetables, mushrooms, flour, cereals - everything that is added to the batter.
