Chicken tabaka in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make tobacco chicken in the oven? Prepare everything you need. Choose a chilled chicken carcass, this will guarantee that the product has not been frozen several times and, accordingly, should be fresh. It is better to use chicken rather than chicken, as chicken meat is already tougher and less tasty. Rinse the chicken carcass thoroughly under running water and dry with a paper towel. The amount of salt can be adjusted to taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the chicken breast lengthwise along the entire length so that it can be unfolded like a book.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then place the carcass on a cutting board and beat it with a kitchen hammer until it becomes completely flat, but this must be done carefully so as not to damage the skin.

4. STEP 4

   

   How to make a marinade for tabaka chicken? Pour ground red pepper, ground paprika, a pinch of ground coriander, a mixture of peppers into a bowl, add lemon juice, vegetable oil and salt. Mix everything well. You can use any spices to suit your taste.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rub the chicken carcass well on all sides with this marinade. Leave the chicken to marinate for an hour, this is enough time for it to absorb the spices.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the chicken in the pan and fry for 5 minutes on both sides until well browned. The top of the chicken must be pressed down with pressure. You can place a plate under the lid so that it fits tightly to the carcass.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then transfer the fried chicken to a baking sheet or baking dish. In the oven, the chicken also needs to be baked under pressure. You can place a baking sheet or other fireproof dish on top of the chicken and place a pan of water or other weight on top. Preheat the oven to 210 degrees.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the chicken for about 30 minutes. Temperatures and times are approximate, based on the size of the chicken and the operating conditions of your oven. Whole chicken tobacco baked on protvina in the oven can be served with sauce, fresh vegetables and herbs. Bon appetit!

I had long heard about chicken tabaka, but I thought that this was a restaurant dish and couldn’t be cooked at home. When I saw the recipe, I was surprised that it was as easy as shelling pears and a “restaurant” at home. I had a small chicken, as recommended in the recipe. I cut it across the breast and made it flat. I washed the carcass, removing excess moisture from the glass. The chicken was marinated. I decided to add garlic too. I cut “pockets” in the chicken with a knife and placed garlic slices there. The chicken was baked in the pan until a golden brown, crispy crust formed. The meat turned out tender, juicy, aromatic. The whole chicken, unlike the lumpy chicken, retained a lot of its own juice. Excited! Chicken tabaka in the oven is a masterpiece dish without much effort! Thank you for the recipe!

I cooked tobacco chicken in the oven according to all the rules, under pressure, once. I remember it was delicious. This time I decided to cook tobacco chicken in the oven. What I had wasn't exactly chicken. I baked a one and a half kilogram chicken in the oven. The recipe is very simple and does not require any special skills. All you have to do is coat the chicken with the necessary spices and put it in the oven. I used all the spices according to the suggested list of ingredients. As for the mixture of herbs, I took Caucasian ones. I baked a chicken weighing one and a half kilograms for an hour and a half. It turned out juicy, aromatic, tasty. The meat is very tender, well soaked in spices. I served it with potatoes boiled in their jackets. Thank you very much for the great recipe!

This was my first time making tobacco chicken and it turned out delicious! The carcass was 450 gr. I fried it in a grill pan under a cast iron grill press, and in the oven with it. Excellent mix of spices! Thank you
