Kvass without wort at home. Homemade kvass: subtleties of preparation

A chicken in the oven. Chicken in the oven is one of the most popular and frequently prepared dishes. It is easy to prepare and always turns out very tasty. Such a dish will always be appropriate not only on the everyday menu, but also on the holiday table.

In order to regularly bake chicken in the oven, it makes sense to purchase a baking dish made from polymer film baking sleeves, as well as aluminum foil or parchment - you can bake chicken in them without oil. You can wrap the chicken in foil, or you can line the bottom of the baking sheet with foil. As for baking sleeves, they are perfect for use not only in the oven, but also in the microwave. Such sleeves look like pieces of nylon or polyethylene, the ends of which are secured with special heat-resistant clips before baking. The chicken in these sleeves always turns out very juicy, because it is perfectly steamed by the hot air formed inside them. And the best material for baking dishes would be ceramic or cast iron - such forms heat up gradually, allowing the heat to be evenly distributed throughout the dish.

A whole chicken or a chicken divided into large pieces is usually baked in a sleeve; foil is ideal for baking wings with legs, and small pieces chicken meat They will turn out very juicy if you use pots or molds for baking them.

You can bake the whole chicken in the oven, as well as some of its parts - legs, breasts, etc. If the chicken is baked whole, then it should first be thoroughly gutted, washed thoroughly, and then dried clean paper towel. And you need to pepper and salt such a chicken not only from the outside, but also from the inside. However, chicken carcasses prepared for baking can now always be purchased in stores.

Ideally, chicken intended for baking should not be frozen, but chilled or steamed - in this case the meat will be juicy and aromatic. And so that the chicken always has an appetizing crispy crust, do not forget to dry it before putting it in the oven with a clean paper towel.

When baking chicken in foil, you should ensure proper sealing - this will help prevent the free flow of meat juice, which will result in a dry dish. To prevent the foil from tearing, it is better to purchase thicker options. And when baking the chicken, several punctures are made in the sleeve on top using a toothpick - they will help release extra steam, preventing damage and excessive inflation of the sleeve.

For flavor, the bird can be sprinkled with aromatic herbs and/or hot spices (optional). In addition to pleasant smells and bright taste, spices allow chicken to be stored longer, so chicken prepared according to our recipe can be taken with you on the road.

But if you don't want to use dry spices, chicken meat, salt and a little vegetable oil are enough to prepare fried chicken.

The recipe for baking chicken pieces is very simple, the taste is always excellent.

We will need

Chicken thighs or whole legs (legs);
Salt;

Spices (if desired and to taste). I took a pinch of basil, oregano, mint and coriander. You can use freshly ground black pepper, kondari (savory), turmeric (saffron) or other spices.

Vegetable oil.

How to cook

Rinse the chicken pieces. Rub with a mixture of salt and herbs.

Place the thighs on a baking sheet (I laid it parchment paper, to make it easier to wash the pan). Drizzle each piece of meat vegetable oil so that the chicken does not dry out when baking.

Fry the chicken in the oven at 200 degrees C until browned. How to check the chicken is done: pierce it with a knife or fork, if clear juice flows out of the chicken piece, the chicken is ready. If it bleeds, you need to wash it some more.

This oven-roasted chicken recipe is the basis for all the others.

What to bake chicken in: on a baking sheet or in a deeper baking container

The pan results in fried chicken with crispy skin and juicy inside. Well, that is, pieces of chicken. The taste of chicken meat baked on a baking sheet reminds me of a lean and tanned athlete.

Why do we need a side dish when you can eat 2 pieces of chicken with herbs?!

But chicken simmered in a baking dish or some kind of large pan or roasting pan is usually laid out in several layers (chicken pieces or layers of vegetables or chicken grains) and covered with a lid or foil.

This chicken can be generously sprinkled with spices.

The lid can be removed 10-15 minutes before cooking (it bakes for up to 2 hours in total) so that the chicken browns. Or you don’t have to disclose it. Chicken cooked in the oven in a deep container, under a lid, retains more moisture and turns out to be stewed. Chicken meat baked in this way easily falls off the bones, melts in the mouth and has dietary properties. And if anyone is interested in the skin, such pieces are always greasy, smooth and slippery.

The character of this chicken meat reminds me of a pampered, light-skinned, plump beauty, soft and juicy. So, choose for yourself what exactly you want to eat now - a roasted mulatto or that touch-me-not that is hiding from the sun.

What can you add to chicken when baking in the oven?

First of all, you can add onions and garlic to the chicken! If you don't have onions, fennel will do. Chicken with onions and garlic - the recipe will come out surprisingly aromatic and tender. When baked for a long time, the onion and fennel almost dissolve and envelop the chicken pieces with a delicate jelly layer with a slightly sweetish spicy taste.

You can top the chicken with pieces of onion, fennel and turnip, cover with foil and bake - it will be very tasty!

You can add mushrooms (champignons, chanterelles, oyster mushrooms or good Forest mushrooms), vegetables: (carrots, onions, garlic, turnips, Bell pepper, zucchini, eggplant, cabbage - that is, what you have) and bake it in a deeper container, covering it with a lid or covering it with foil.

What can you use to coat chicken pieces?

It is not necessary to use oil; you can grease the chicken with mayonnaise or a mixture of mayonnaise and crushed garlic.

How to bake (fry) a whole chicken in the oven

You can also stuff chicken, like duck or turkey, with apples, tangerines and oranges (or other fruits) - chicken recipe.

How to pack a chicken for travel

If you take chicken on a trip, you can bake it according to our recipe, fry it in a pan, or simply boil it. It is important to then generously sprinkle the chicken meat with a mixture of spices (basil, mint, pepper, turmeric, oregano, etc.) and salt, let it cool, wrap it in foil (several layers) and in a plastic bag and cool in the refrigerator.

10-15 minutes before leaving, you can cool it even further (in the freezer) and put it in a bag of groceries just before leaving.

My chicken was good from the moment it left the refrigerator (travelling at 16-20 degrees) for 24 hours. Later the experiments did not continue because we ate everything. I took with me as many pieces as our company could eat in 3 times.

Bon appetit and delicious chicken!

Bon appetit!

Good afternoon dear readers. Agree, rarely does anyone refuse aromatic and juicy baked chicken. Yes, this dish is really very tasty and beautiful. But not everyone knows how to cook it deliciously, so that the meat turns out juicy, fried, and with a fried crust.

IN Lately many began to cook it, and not duck or goose. As I understand it, this is due to the fact that this bird has become more than accessible. Well, you must admit that today it is easier and cheaper to find and buy a chicken carcass than a duck or goose. Well, at least in my region this is true, and I live in the Krasnodar region.

And so we bought the bird, now we need to cook it so that just the sight of the dish will make the guests’ mouths water. In fact, there is nothing complicated about this. Below there will be several simple recipes cooking chicken in the oven, from which I want you to choose the one you like best and prepare this dish today. And let this recipe be only yours.

Of course, without a doubt, poultry will be much tastier than store-bought, but not everyone has the opportunity to keep chickens at home, so most often many people buy them in the store already cut up and prepared.

It’s better to take the carcass in a bag, so that’s out of the question external factor penetration of bacteria.
If you find punctures or cuts on the carcass, it is better to refuse the purchase. This is the first sign that the meat is laden with chemicals.
When you press on the fibers, they should return to their previous shape. If this does not happen, the meat is not fresh.
Of course, pay attention to expiration dates. If the shelf life is more than 2-3 weeks, then this is also a sign that the chicken will contain chemicals.

And so now we have the right meat and it needs to be cooked correctly and tasty.

Ingredients:

Carcass 1 pc.
Garlic 1-2 cloves
Apples 2-3 pcs.
Pepper
Vegetable oil
Seasoning for chicken

Cooking process:

Before cooking, the carcass should be visually inspected and if there are remains of feathers or entrails, it is better to get rid of them. Rinse well again and allow excess water to drain.

Pass the garlic through a press, mix it with vegetable oil and last time Coat the carcass with the mixture. We leave it in this position for an hour or two so that the meat is properly marinated. Can be covered with cling film.

Rinse the apples well, remove the core and cut one apple into large slices into about 5-6 pieces. However, the number of slices will depend on the size of the apple itself.

Now we sew the chicken up or pin it with toothpicks. The hole must be closed so that all the juice from the meat and apples remains inside.

Next, preheat the oven to 200 degrees and set the dish to cook for about 1-2 hours. Cooking time depends on the size of the carcass. After the allotted time, you need to carefully pierce the chicken and see what color the juice will be; if it’s still reddish, you need to bake it some more. And if the juice is white and the meat is white, the chicken is ready. It remains to hold it for another 10-15 minutes so that a golden brown crust forms.

This delicacy is best served hot. And if there is any leftover, you can always heat it up in a frying pan or in the microwave. Bon appetit.

Ingredients:

Medium size chicken
Allspice
Apples 2-3 pcs.
Vegetable oil
Sleeve for baking

Cooking process:

Before frying a chicken carcass in the oven, it is better to marinate it first. We will prepare the marinade from salt, pepper and vegetable oil. You can add your favorite seasonings if you wish. Rub the carcass with salt and pepper both outside and inside. And of course, we coat it with vegetable oil so that all the aromas and smells are sealed in the meat.

Next, cut the apples and place them tightly in the chicken. You should not tamp the fruit with great force, as during cooking the bird will become smaller in size and may crack from large quantity apples

If the apples are not quite sweet, add a couple of spoons granulated sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon (optional, of course).

Don’t forget that the carcass must be sewn up. Or prick with regular toothpicks. I use ordinary threads. Since after cooking they are easily removed and do not remain in the dish.

And so we place the chicken stuffed with apples in a baking sleeve, tie the sleeve on both sides and leave this story to marinate for 30-40 minutes. The longer it lasts, the better.

Then preheat the oven and place the chicken in it. Cooking should be at a temperature of 180-200 degrees. Approximate cooking time is about 1-2 hours. Before putting in the oven, make 3-5 punctures in the sleeve. So that hot air comes out.

At the very end of cooking, open the sleeve and place the carcass in the oven again for 20-30 minutes. This is necessary in order for an appetizing crust to form.

To make poultry meat perfect in the oven, you need to learn some subtleties from experienced chefs.

It is very important to take the choice of chicken itself seriously. It is best to take young carcasses that are not too young big size, weighing about 1.5 kg;
Baking requires special utensils. If you happen to have a cast iron frying pan lying around, this is a great option. Ceramic containers also heat up well and retain heat. But glass and thin metal are not very suitable; chicken can burn in them;
The time is directly affected by the mass of the bird. Usually 40 minutes is enough for one kilogram of weight. The optimal oven temperature is 180-200. A carcass cut into pieces will cook faster. For example, chicken thighs and the drumsticks will be baked in about 35 minutes;
To obtain evenly juicy chicken, place pieces under the skin on the breast butter. As you know, this part is less fatty and may turn out dry. To ensure that the chicken gets a golden brown crust, you can use the grill function and turn it on 15 minutes before the end of baking. But if you don’t have it, then first spread the chicken with a mixture of liquid honey and mustard, you can also use sour cream;
Don't forget to correctly determine when the bird is ready. If it is already sizzling and crackling slightly, take a fork or skewer and try to pierce the fleshy part of the leg: the juice should be pleasantly clear, without a pinkish tint;
Take your time to serve the hot chicken right away. Remove it from the oven, cover it with foil, leave it to stand for about 10 minutes and only then cut it. Then it will turn out even more tender.
