Cook whole chicken in the oven. How to bake whole chicken with crust in the oven

An inexpensive dish can also be tasty and appetizing, worthy of decorating a festive table. An example is whole oven baked chicken. This dish has many variations, but there are no expensive items in most of the recipes. The main ingredients are chicken, sauce, spices. The taste of the finished culinary masterpiece depends on them. The dish is also prepared without much effort, so any hostess can handle this.

The subtleties of cooking

If you follow all the directions given in a particular recipe, chicken baked in the oven as a whole is almost certainly delicious. But for reliability, it does not hurt to study the subtleties of cooking this dish, which do not depend on the recipe.

  • For baking, you can take chicken of different sizes, but it is better that it is not too large. You should focus on a weight of one and a half kilograms. It will take exactly an hour to cook such a chicken. If the chicken is slightly larger or, on the contrary, smaller, the cooking time must be adjusted in the appropriate direction.
  • Not all chickens are suitable for baking. If the chicken was raised to lay eggs, it is not suitable for baking. This must be considered when choosing poultry chickens on the market. Buying chicken in a store where they come from special factories for the production of poultry meat, you do not run the risk of making a mistake.
  • Frozen chickens can be taken for soup, but not for cooking delicious dishes in the oven. Chilled or steamed carcasses are more suitable for baking: their meat remains juicy.
  • You can bake the whole chicken in foil, in a sleeve, in a mold or on a baking sheet. Each option has its own characteristics. If foil is chosen, then it is necessary to wrap the chicken in it very carefully, in several layers, so that the juice does not flow out of it during cooking. Otherwise, the meat will be dry. It is better to break the foil 15 minutes before readiness so that the chicken is baked open. This will brown it. Immediately before placing in the oven, the sleeve must be pierced in several places so that it does not swell and burst. It is advisable to use a mold that heats up evenly, that is, cast iron or ceramic. Cover the baking sheet with foil or parchment to make it easier to clean later. With this method, the chicken periodically needs to be watered with melted juice so that it is juicy.
  • The degree of readiness of the chicken is checked by piercing the thigh with a toothpick. It is undesirable to check in the area of ​​the breast, since it cooks a little faster. If the juice pours out transparent through the hole, then the chicken is baked, it can be removed.
  • In order for the chicken to take up less space (this is important when the baking dish is compact) and does not break through the foil, if baked in it, the legs of the carcass need to be tied up, and the wings must be hidden in the slots made with a sharp knife near the breast.

You can bake the whole chicken without filling or stuffed. Often it is stuffed with apples or other fruits, as they well set off the taste of poultry meat.

Whole oven baked chicken can be called a banquet dish. Despite this, it is prepared so simply that you can eat it at least every day.

In fact, I don't bake whole chicken in the oven that often. It is more convenient for us to prepare it “for spare parts”. But sometimes, when I see a young, good, medium-sized bird in the store, then it appears with a crispy fried crust, juicy, beautiful, and I cook. Today there will be three recipes for you with a photo step by step. We will bake chicken in foil, bag (sleeve) and just like that on a baking sheet.

What you need to know before putting chicken in the oven

Baking time whole chicken weighing from 1 kg to 2 kg in an oven at a temperature of 180-200 ° C is 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes. An hour later, the chicken needs to be pierced to the bone with a sharp knife at the point where the leg joins the carcass, see what color the juice comes out: transparent or pinkish and decide how much more to fry or take it out of the oven.

For baking, it is better to take a broiler. In the store, in 100% of cases, this will be it. But if you got homemade chicken, then you need to know whether it was a laying hen or a broiler. Laying hens are often dry and tough, it is better to cook soup from them.

When baking, the carcass should always be placed breast-side down, as this is the driest meat. In this position, the juice will flow down, the breast will always be in the juice and will not dry out.

If baking without foil, sleeves or a baking bag, wrap the tips of the wings in foil so they won't burn.

The frozen bird must be taken out 8-12 hours before cooking, and thawed in the refrigerator. It will be right.

You can tie the legs in front of the oven with twine to keep the finished chicken looking neat.

Chicken in the oven in foil

The safest marinade for baked chicken is with honey and mustard. Honey is a guarantee of a crust, because under the influence of temperature, it, mixing with meat juice, caramelizes. Mustard is aroma and taste, and bitterness disappears when heated. The dish will not turn out sweet, as the sweetness of the honey is offset by the acidity of the lemon juice and the taste of mustard.

Ingredients:

  • chicken - 1-1.5 kg;
  • lemon - 1pc;
  • honey - 100gr;
  • mustard - 2 tablespoons;
  • salt - 1 tsp;
  • chicken spice mixture - 2 tsp

How to cook whole chicken in the oven:

  1. If the chicken is already gutted, then we just rinse it well inside and out, and then dry it with a towel.
  2. Press the lemon against the table with your palm and roll it on the tabletop, pressing slightly. This way he will give the juice better. But first, remove the zest from the lemon with a grater. Only the yellow layer, no white - it tastes bitter. Then we squeeze out the juice.
  3. Pour 2 tablespoons of juice into another dish, combine the rest with zest, mustard, spices and salt. In this mixture, we need to marinate the carcass.
  4. We coat the carcass with the mixture, massaging and rubbing. Then leave to marinate for 2 hours or more.
  5. Put the foil in two layers in a deep baking sheet or baking dish, put the bird on it, tie its legs and wrap it tightly. If it suddenly breaks through, wrap it up with another layer.
  6. We heat the oven to 200 ° С. We put the chicken to bake for 1 hour.
  7. An hour later, we take it out, check it with a knife for readiness. If ready, mix the honey in the reserved lemon juice. If the honey is candied, then it must first be melted either in a microwave oven, or simply kept warm. Lubricate the carcass.


  8. We put it back in the oven, no longer wrapping it with foil, for 10-15 minutes. You can turn on the grill function. But you must be sure to keep an eye on so that the surface does not burn, so that instead of golden crust don't get burnt.
  9. We take out the chicken to a dish. For this, it is better to use silicone gloves, if available. Or with two forks, picking up the carcass from both sides by the sides. Cut the rope on the legs and serve to your liking.

Whole chicken in the oven in a sleeve with potatoes: a recipe with a photo


A baking bag or sleeve (not a big difference) is one of the ingenious kitchen inventions. It is much more convenient to use it than foil. It protects the oven perfectly from splashes. It also keeps the chicken juicy for five-plus. Now we will cook together with the filling - potatoes.

Ingredients:

  • chicken - 1kg;
  • potatoes - 600g;
  • a mixture of spices for chicken - 1 tablespoon;
  • onion - 1pc;
  • salt - 1 tsp

Cooking process:


The potatoes in the bag are soaked in meat juice, it turns out soft and tasty.

How can you stuff a chicken

Fruit is often used for stuffing:

  • apples;
  • pears;
  • oranges;
  • lemons;
  • quince;
  • prunes;
  • dried apricots.

Also, in order to simultaneously prepare a side dish for a dish, you can stuff with cereals:

  • buckwheat;

You can add pre-fried mushrooms to buckwheat. And in the rice there are dried fruits.

There are recipes for stuffing chicken with mushrooms, only this is a different story, since you need to remove the skin, separate the meat from the bones, grind, bake pancakes and fill the skin with them and the minced meat. It's already over difficult process worthy detailed description... And now we are cooking in a simple way, entirely.

Poultry, but it is better to bake it whole in the oven with spices, vegetables or fruits. A delicious and aromatic dish is ready - the guests are happy, and all the praises for the hostess.

In this article I will offer you simple and delicious recipes that are not difficult to prepare at home, for every taste. Try to cook with them, each option is worthy of attention.

It is recommended to bake prepared poultry at a temperature of no more than 180 degrees. This temperature is not chosen by chance, because a whole chicken needs to be in the oven for a long time, and a strong heat at a high temperature will quickly dry the meat and greatly fry the skin. Higher temperatures are acceptable for food in the sleeve.

The legs of the bird must be tied, pulled off the thread, pressing against the carcass, in this case they will not burn. The wings are also either tucked under the back, or laid with fruits or vegetables. If you do not do this, then it is worth wrapping the extreme fragments of the wings and legs with small pieces of foil.

In addition, to evenly fry the surface of the chicken, every 15 minutes, it is necessary to water it on top with juice from the bottom of the dish, then it will eventually be beautifully fried, and still very juicy and tasty.

There are no problems with baking in electric ovens. If you have a gas oven, then I recommend covering the bird with a piece of foil during cooking, securing the edges to the sides of the form. This will save it from drying out, since the gas dries the meat very much. 15-20 minutes before turning off the oven, remove the foil, and pour over the juice, bake the chicken until golden brown. Good luck!
