It is necessary

    • Hen
    • 4 cloves of garlic
    • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon sour cream
    • salt
    • pepper.

Instructions

Step 1

The first step is to choose the right chicken in the store. Pay attention to the amount of ice in the frozen poultry package. If there is too much of it, the carcass looks bloated, then this is a signal that unscrupulous store employees have pumped it with water. After defrosting, the chicken meat will be watery with broken fiber structure. Moreover, it is not known what liquid it is impregnated with.

Step 4

Peel the garlic, cut two medium cloves into slices. Pierce the carcass in several places with a narrow-bladed knife and stuff the chicken with garlic. Crush 2 more cloves, mix with a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise and one spoonful of sour cream, add salt to taste, pepper and rub the chicken with this mixture.

Step 5

Place it upside down on a baking sheet and place in a hot oven (180 degrees). After a while, the chicken will let out the juice, pour it on top of it and cover it with foil to avoid burning.

Step 6

Chicken in the oven is cooked for about one hour, you need to remove the foil from time to time and pour the juice again. 10-15 minutes before readiness, the foil is removed completely and the skin is allowed to brown until crispy.
