Chicken in its own juices in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake chicken in its own juice? Prepare everything you need for this. For baking, you can use any part of the chicken - drumsticks, thighs or wings. Or you can take a whole carcass and chop it into pieces. Peel the onions and carrots and rinse them in running water to remove any dirt.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the garlic as well, and then finely chop or pass through a press. Add olive oil, salt and pepper to the garlic. Mix everything. Leave to stand for 15 minutes. During this time, prepare the chicken.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the chicken carcass in running water and dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Then chop the chicken into pieces and place in a deep bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour all of the prepared marinade over the chicken and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Leave the chicken to stand like this for 30 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   At this time, prepare the vegetables. Cut the carrots into rings or just large pieces. Cut the onion into half rings. There is no need to chop the vegetables very finely, otherwise they will be completely boiled during stewing.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix chicken with vegetables.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then place the chicken and vegetables in a baking dish. I have a ceramic mold. You can also use glass or metal.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cover the pan with a lid and place in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 1.5 hours. Instead of a lid, you can use foil to tightly cover the pan. No need to add water. The chicken and vegetables will provide enough moisture to cook. Considering that the form will be closed, moisture will not evaporate. Therefore, the chicken will cook perfectly in its own juices.

9. STEP 9

   

   Remove the finished dish from the oven. Do not open the lid immediately. Let it sit for a while so that the first heat comes out of the mold. After 5-7 minutes you can remove the lid. Be careful - it's very hot!

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the finished chicken on plates and add any side dish and fresh vegetables. In my opinion, boiled potatoes are enough here. Bon appetit!

I cooked chicken in its own juices for dinner. I had chicken thighs (750 g). I didn’t adjust the amount of other ingredients, I took it based on 1.5 kg of chicken. I baked the chicken in a cast iron pan for a little over an hour and a half at 180 degrees. The chicken turned out very aromatic and tasty. The meat is tender and juicy. The taste of garlic is very pleasant, unobtrusive. I served the chicken with pasta. It turned out to be a great hearty dinner. Thank you very much for the recipe!

I made chicken in its own juices in the oven for lunch. Chicken legs were cut into pieces and poured with a marinade of vegetable oil, salt and garlic. I left it for 15 minutes. Then I transferred it to a baking dish, covered it with foil and put it in the oven. I increased the cooking time by half an hour so that the meat was thoroughly steamed. The vegetables (I added carrots and onions) arrived very well during this time. The onion lost its pungent aroma and became delicious. The meat came out aromatic, soft, juicy, and just melted in your mouth! The recipe is wonderful! I recommend to everyone! Thanks a lot!

I liked this chicken recipe for its simplicity. Indeed, you just need to mix all the ingredients and put it in the oven, and then it’s up to you) I chose a glass form with a lid, after all, foil is not so reliable, it seems to me. In addition to black pepper, I also seasoned it with paprika and turmeric. I didn’t have fresh garlic, I used powdered garlic. The chicken was stewed for the same way for 1.5 hours, then I removed the lid and put it under the grill for 10 minutes. This recipe made excellent juicy chicken. It was cooked in its own aromatic juice, of which there was a lot. The meat is very tender and steamed well. The carrots and onions were also soaked in meat juice and became soft and tasty. And the onions became not just boiled, but caramelized, pleasant to the taste. The dish is excellent! Very simple and very tasty! Thanks for the recipe.
