Here you will find out how to cook a delicious roast chicken Step by Step.
Choosing a quality chicken is easy. First, pay attention to the surface of the skin. If it is dry, then the bird is fresh, but if it is sticky - this is a clear sign that it has been stored for a long time.
The smell can also tell a lot about the meat. Fresh chicken practically does not smell. The age of the chicken can be determined by the sternum. In the young chicken it is soft and elastic, and in the old hen it is firm and does not bend.
If you buy chicken from the store, keep in mind that it may be fed antibiotics because they are raised differently. But in general, the bird from the store is usually softer and gentler than the domestic one.
Spices should be crumbly, without lumps and traces of moisture.
First prepare the marinade for the chicken. Mix 1.5 tsp. rosemary, 1.5 tsp. red pepper, salt 1 tsp, 4-5 cloves crushed garlic, 1.5 tsp. mustard with 100 ml of oil. To marinate the chicken, you can use mayonnaise, it is added instead of oil and gives the chicken a crispy crust.
Wash and dry the chicken, gently rub with the marinade. It should be marinated for about 3-4 hours or overnight, wrapped in foil and stored in the refrigerator.
Place the chicken in a tray lined with baking paper. Place the pan in a preheated 180 degree oven. To prevent its wings from burning, you can wrap them in foil.
To make the chicken cooked in the oven look more appetizing, you can add potatoes that you have previously cleaned, cut (maybe whole, if they are small), salted and sprinkled with potato spices.
Roast chicken should be cooked for about 2 hours or less, depending on the size and fat content of the bird. Place the finished chicken in the middle of a large plate and place the potatoes next to it. You can sprinkle with finely chopped fresh green spices.
In the same way you can cook the chicken in a roasting bag or in a casserole depending on your taste.
Recommendations:
If you want to cook chicken with potatoes or without in the oven, know that it turns out quite dry. Such meat should be roasted with the addition of any fat. Therefore, you can increase the proportions of oil or mayonnaise.
