The recipe shows the proportions for a chicken carcass. Similarly, you can bake any parts - thighs, legs or even breasts. The recipe is also suitable for duck.

First you need to marinate the bird:

• 2 teaspoons mustard
• 1 clove of garlic
• Grated ginger - teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Adjika on the tip of a knife
• A drop of lemon juice
• Favorite herbs and spices

Preparation:

1. Wash the chicken carcass thoroughly under cold water.
2. Prepare the marinade. First, grind the garlic in a garlic press. Mix with the rest and let sit for a while.
3. Rub the chicken with the marinade and let it soak for at least an hour.

Cooking chicken with oranges and apples in the oven

So, as soon as the chicken is marinated, we proceed directly to preparing the dish:

1. We need one orange and a couple of sour apples. Please note that sweet varieties are not suitable
2. Cut the fruit into fairly large slices
3. Place the pieces inside the chicken, carefully fasten the edges of the skin with a toothpick or culinary thread
4. We tie the bird's legs tightly so that they do not burn. It is better to cover the wings with foil, as they can also burn.
5. Bake the chicken for an hour, periodically basting it with the released juices.

The finished dish can be served with potatoes or rice as a side dish

Recipe for delicious baked potatoes with chicken

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and clean them with a brush. Don't peel!
Cut into fairly large slices.

Place the potatoes in boiling salted water for just a couple of minutes.
Prepare the mixture for baking - 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, a clove of garlic (crushed), a pinch of curry, a pinch of salt, a little black pepper. Place the potatoes in a bowl, pour over the aromatic oil and mix thoroughly.

Bake the dish in the oven for about half an hour at 200 degrees. The finished potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

You can also serve potato sauce made from sour cream, herbs and garlic separately. This unusual combination of flavors will make your dinner truly festive!
breasts with apples and oranges

Chicken breasts are a very dietary product. The main problem when preparing them is dryness and hardness. However, the right marinade will not only enrich the taste, but also preserve all the juices inside the fillet.

Prepare the marinating composition:

1. Tablespoon soy sauce
2. Minced garlic clove
3. A tablespoon of natural yoghurt, without additives or sugar
4. Curry seasoning - on the tip of a knife
5. Dry ginger - a quarter teaspoon

Mix all the ingredients. Lubricate the chicken fillet with marinade and put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, or better yet, overnight.

Wash one large orange and one apple and cut into slices. It is best to soak oranges for an hour in cold water - this will wash off the additives from the peel for transportation. Take the chicken fillet out of the refrigerator and beat it a little.

Place the fruit in the pan, then the chicken. Bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes, then cook for another 10 minutes at 180 degrees. Chicken fillet cooks quite quickly.

2. Wash and peel the apple and orange. Peel the orange and cut it into halves. Cut the apples into slices. Place the legs and fruit into the pan and bake until fully cooked.
3. Next, take out the orange and apple and grind them in a blender or just with a fork. Add some spicy notes to the sauce and season with a small pinch of curry

Serve the finished legs with sauce, or potatoes as a side dish.

Secrets of cooking delicious chicken

To make the chicken delicious, it is important to know a few secrets:

1. You cannot defrost poultry, or any meat, with warm water. Place the carcass on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator in the evening - by the next day it will defrost without loss of taste
2. To allow the marinade to penetrate into the meat, prick the bird with a fork. We beat the fillet
3. For an appetizing crust, add soy sauce or honey to the marinade. In this case, watch the dish carefully - these additives burn easily
4. It is important to bake the bird until fully cooked, and at the same time not to dry it out. In the case of a whole carcass, the estimated time is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes. Pierce the leg with a fork - if there is no blood, the bird is ready
5. Baste the bird with any fat and juices that have been released in the oven. This will make it juicy and allow an appetizing crust to appear.
6. fillet goes well with fermented milk products. For example, natural yogurt in the marinade will keep all the juices inside and soften the fillet fibers a little. Marinating chicken in kefir is another culinary classic

Now you know how to cook deliciously with oranges and apples. By varying different seasonings you can create different flavors.

Delicious chicken, whole baked in the oven, serves as a decoration for the holiday table. For some families, it's even a tradition to bake chicken for Sunday dinner. Many have their own family recipes, their own secrets. But for those who are looking for new tastes and aromas, my new recipe for chicken with potatoes, carrots, apples and oranges will be interesting.

In addition to juicy and tasty chicken, I suggest you also prepare a flavorful sauce. You will think: the sauce takes so long, and in general it’s an extra hassle - it’s better to just buy it in the store. But I assure you that preparing it is as easy as shelling pears! You just need to have a blender on hand. But let's start with the chicken itself.

Ingredients:
whole chicken (broiler) - 2.3 kg
potatoes - 8 pcs.
large carrots - 1 pc.
green apples (with sourness) - 2 pcs.
orange - 1 pc.
shallots - 6 pcs.
vegetable oil - 3 tbsp.
thyme - a pinch
salt
pepper

Cooking chicken

1. The chicken carcass should be washed well inside and out, remove the remaining feathers and burn over the burner, if necessary. Rub it with salt and leave it in a bowl.

2. Meanwhile, you need to prepare the filling. To do this, peel the orange, divide it into slices and cut 1 apple. Place the fruit in a bowl, add salt, pepper and thyme.

3. Peel potatoes, onions, carrots and 1 apple, cut into large pieces, salt and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Mix the vegetables well and place in a baking dish for the chicken.

4. Stuff the chicken and sew up the opening carefully. Also, instead of sewing it up, you can simply make a cut in the skin and insert the crossed legs of the chicken into it (I did this, which can be seen in the photo). Place the chicken on a bed of vegetables, brush with vegetable oil and bake. During the baking process, the chicken will also need to be greased several times to obtain a beautiful crust.

5. Set the oven to preheat at 200 degrees.

Advice: Roasting time will depend on the size of the bird. You can check its readiness using a toothpick. Pierce the bird at its thickest point and the juices will flow out and should run clear when done. In addition, there should not be too much juice.

6. When the bird is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then carefully place it in a dish, open the hole and remove the filling. Place half in a bowl and arrange the rest nicely around the chicken along with the roasted vegetables.
