In order to prepare delicious food, you need to take into account the peculiarities of the recipe and use quality products. Then the final dish will turn out to be tasty and healthy. Prepare, for example, a delicious oven-baked chicken.
It is necessary
- - whole chicken;
- - 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
- - 1 tsp. salt;
- - a pinch of ground black pepper;
- - various spices to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
Only cook with fresh ingredients. Expiration dates are indicated on the packaging. If the product is unpacked, determine its quality visually and do not use if in doubt. The higher the quality of the chicken, the better the flavor.
Step 2
Keep food clean. Free up enough space for yourself. Take clean dishes, cutting boards. To cook chicken in the oven, you need a cutting board, knife and baking sheet. Cut the chicken into portions, grease a baking sheet with butter and put the chicken on it.
Step 3
Strictly follow the recipe. This is an important tip when preparing a dish. Do not take products by eye if you want to get a proven result. Replacing products with analogs can also affect a change in taste. If you want a fried slice - cook the chicken legs, a dietary meal - cook the breast.
Step 4
When getting creative with your cooking process, consider food compatibility. Only use spices that you know taste and in proven quantities. For example, marjoram is ideally combined with chicken, but if you are not familiar with its taste, be careful, it is better to take the usual ready-made seasoning.
Step 5
Figure out how to improve the flavor of your dish. So, the chicken will be softer if it is marinated for two hours before frying. To do this, you need to salt it, coat with seasonings and refrigerate. Having saturated with the aromas of herbs, the bird will become more exquisite in taste.
Step 6
Salt the dish according to the rules. If you have not previously marinated the chicken, then you should salt it before frying.
Step 7
Cook at the recommended cooking temperature. The best temperature for cooking chicken is 200 C, then the fat is melted, and a golden brown crust is obtained. Failure to comply with the temperature regime may result in a change in taste. At a higher temperature, the chicken will burn and not bake inside, at a lower temperature, it will be juicy, fat will remain inside, but no crispy crust forms.
Step 8
Keep track of the time and the preparation of the dish. The chicken should be kept in the oven, depending on the temperature. This recipe takes 50 minutes. However, it all depends on the type of oven.
