Whole chicken in the oven in a sleeve with a crust

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a whole chicken in a sleeve with a crust? Prepare all the necessary products. Take a medium-sized bird, preferably about one and a half kilograms, be sure to be chilled and well gutted.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken well, pat dry with paper towels, and remove any feathers if necessary.

3. STEP 3

   

   Salt the chicken on all sides. I take regular white salt without additives, but you can also use flavored salt: for example, Svan or Adyghe salt.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pepper the chicken on all sides. You can take any type of hot pepper: black or red. If you don't like it spicy, you can use ground paprika for a more beautiful color.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add chopped garlic to the chicken. I put the clove through a press, but you can also grate the clove on a fine grater or chop it with a knife. It is also possible to use garlic powder, but since we are cooking in a sleeve, the garlic will not burn, so it is better to use fresh. If you wish, you can rub the chicken with some other seasonings: suneli hops, Provençal herbs and any other dried seasonings.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the chicken in a roasting pan. You can add a sprig of fresh rosemary, thyme or mint to the sleeve for aroma, and maybe a few slices of lemon. Secure the edge of the sleeve with a special clip.

7. STEP 7

   

   Using a toothpick, make several punctures in the sleeve to allow excess steam to escape during cooking. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 45 minutes. For the first 30 minutes, I recommend baking directly in the sleeve, then, if you want to get a crispy, aromatic crust, cut the top of the baking sleeve and bring the chicken until fully cooked. To be sure, make a cut in the thigh area - clear meat juice should flow out, not blood. The chicken is ready!

8. STEP 8

   

   Serve the chicken right away while it's hot! It goes best with fresh seasonal vegetables or vegetable salads. Bon appetit!

Mm.. I love dishes made from chicken!!! Today, manufacturers offer us a huge selection of chicken meat, including those packaged in individual parts. On store shelves you can find neatly packaged wings, dashingly laid out drumsticks, processed chicken breasts, and the like. I often use such sets to prepare portioned dishes intended for holiday gatherings with friends. Very convenient - a portion of the side dish leg, a portion of the side dish wing. But for a family meal, I choose a whole chicken carcass. So today I chose this recipe to bake a whole chicken in the oven in the sleeve. The chicken, I honestly admit to you, turned out to be very tender, aromatic, juicy and tasty. Just what you need for a family of four. I added Provençal herbs and a little ground paprika to the recipe. It is possible that I will repeat this recipe for the New Year's table. Thank you very much to the owner of the recipe!

There are many recipes for cooking chicken, I chose one recipe that I liked and prepared a whole chicken in the oven with a crust for the holiday table. It is prepared without preliminary marinating, which is what attracted attention. I coated the chicken with salt, spices, chopped garlic, and added aromatic herbs. She put the chicken in her sleeve and secured it with a clip. I made several punctures with a toothpick to allow steam to escape and put it in the oven at 180° for 1 hour. Then I opened the sleeve and baked for another 15 minutes until an appetizing crust formed. The most tender, aromatic and very tasty chicken turned out! Thanks to the author for the recipe!

Chicken is one of the most delicious dishes, especially fried of course. and you can cook it in different ways. There are some dishes that cannot be ruined and that is chicken. Whether you fry it in a sleeve or just on a baking sheet in the oven alone or with a side dish, the result is the same - beautiful and tasty. It’s up to you to choose what to coat the chicken with. You can spread the chicken with mayonnaise with different spices and with garlic there will be a wonderful aroma and a crispy crust. Also, any side dish will suit the chicken, put potatoes in the sleeve and now dinner is ready, and if you add onions, carrots and mushrooms, it will be very, very tasty.

Thanks for the recipe! Cooking a whole chicken is not so easy; the quality and freshness of the chicken itself is especially important. I prefer to take only chilled poultry from the chicken kingdom like or loops. Clean, fresh and meaty chicken, a pleasure to cook and eat!!)
