Whole chicken with potatoes in the oven, the recipe with the photo below is a hearty and juicy dish. Its preparation requires a minimum of time and available products. The poultry baked in a special culinary sleeve does not dry out, and the potatoes are soaked in meat juice. At the same time, there is no excess fat content in the dish, from which the dish turns out to be low in calories. But even for such a simple recipe, it is important to know certain secrets.
- When cooking chicken and potatoes in a bag, it is preferable not to add other vegetables, such as tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini. Otherwise, the potatoes will be saturated with the juice of these vegetables, become sour, become liquid and acquire an unpleasant taste. Additives that will complement this dish are onions and carrots. They go well with potatoes and poultry.
- It is important to seal the sleeve so that neither juice nor fat leaks out during the baking process, then the products will turn out juicy. And the juice itself, which remains, can be served in the form of a sauce to dip meat and potatoes.
- Even when preparing, you need to take into account the baking time, usually 40 minutes is enough for 1 kg of meat, plus an additional 20 minutes for the formation of a golden brown crust. The cooking time will be different if the poultry is not baked whole, but cut into pieces.
- If the old chicken is used, then it should be previously soaked in vinegar solution. This action will soften its fibers and it will become softer.
