Add suneli hops, soy sauce and vegetable oil to the nuts. Squeeze out the garlic and stir.

We wash the chicken, cut off excess fat and the remains of feathers, if any. We cut the carcass in the middle, where the breast is, so that it is possible to flatten it on a baking sheet. We beat it a little on the back with a hammer.

We rub with the previously prepared sauce and leave for two or three hours in the refrigerator for pickling. Maybe overnight. Place something heavy and heat-resistant on top to press down on the chicken (I have a cast-iron biscuit pan).

We fry the chicken in the oven at 180 degrees for 40-60 minutes until cooked. It all depends on the size of the chicken. Ten minutes before readiness, remove the oppression and let the crust brown.

We spread the apples stuffed with prunes on a baking sheet, pour over with honey.

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Then turn off and leave in the oven to reach readiness. If you feel that the apples are ready, then it is better to pull them out of the oven.

How to cook with a photo step by step





Let's prepare a mixture of spices for chicken stuffed with prunes and apples in Danish style. Take half a teaspoon hot pepper chili, 1 tsp. ground black pepper and sweet paprika, about 1.5 teaspoons fine salt and 1 tsp. turmeric. We mix everything. The proportions and composition of the spice mixture can be changed, choose at your discretion and cook the chicken of the spiciness you need.




Wash the chicken carcass inside and out. Dry with a paper towel or wipe with a regular kitchen towel without lint. Rub on all sides with a mixture of spices and salt, also sprinkle spice mixture inside the chicken. Cover the chicken with a large bowl or put it in a saucepan with a lid and put it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. If time suffers, then marinate the chicken longer, the meat will be tastier.




Before taking the carcass out of the refrigerator, we will make the filling for stuffing the chicken. Peel the apples from the skin and seeds, cut into medium-sized pieces. Steam the prunes in a water bath, remove the stone. large prunes can be cut into 2-4 parts, small leave whole.






Stuff the chicken with the prepared stuffing, slightly compacting the fruit. Let's leave a little space to make it more convenient to "darn" the incision.

You can also cook simply, but according to a different recipe.





Connect the edges so that they touch. Fix with a toothpick.




If the skin is damaged (which often happens with purchased chickens), we sew all the damage with a white thread so that during baking the skin does not spread further to the sides. Lubricate the form with vegetable oil, put the chicken into it. We will tie the legs with twine or thread folded several times.






Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. We cover the form with stuffed chicken with foil or a lid and put it in hot oven for 1 hour. After this time, remove the lid (foil), pour over the chicken with the released fat and continue to bake for another 20-25 minutes. Periodically we take out the chicken and pour it with fat to form a ruddy crispy crust.




From finished chicken remove threads, toothpicks. Served chicken stuffed with prunes and hot Danish apples, as soon as they come out of the oven. You can put slices of apples or other fruits, greens on the dish. If you need a side dish, boil the rice and mix it with stewed apples and dried fruits.

Chicken baked in the oven, and even if with apples, is just an excellent treat. This dish is perfect for a festive table. For example, I cook two at once, as one quickly flies, and then many guests ask for more additions.

To date, finding chicken on store shelves is not difficult. But few people cook it in the oven. Increasingly, its individual parts are cooked wings, legs, thighs. And few people cook as a whole, because no one wants to mess with it. But I hasten to upset you with whole chicken fuss is not so much as it seems at first glance.

This recipe is as simple as two and two. And now you can see for yourself.

Ingredients.

A small chicken up to about two kg.

Apples. Preferably sweet and sour 10 pcs.

Ketchup.

Adjika.

Khmeli-Suneli.

Honey.

Mayonnaise 2 tbsp

Black pepper to taste.

Ground paprika to taste.

Salt is also to taste.

Cooking process.

First of all, we will prepare the sauce with which we will rub our chicken in the future.

We take mayonnaise as a basis. Add all other seasonings to it and mix until homogeneous mass. Add salt last. Instead of adjika, you can use the same ketchup, just twice as much. While the spices are mixed with mayonnaise and honey. You can start preparing the chicken.

In this recipe, we will cut the chicken almost in half so it will fry faster and the crust will definitely turn out very tasty.

Cut the chicken breast and wash well. Then you need to lightly beat off the chicken with a culinary mallet. But be very careful not to damage the most delicious, namely the skin. This must be done in order for the chicken to spread as tightly as possible. So from below it will be better baked in apple juice with sauce.

While we were working with meat, the spices were fully prepared for use, and it's time to start almost the final action.

The chicken must be laid either on a baking sheet or in a baking dish. It is advisable to take the dishes in which the chicken will fry and languish with sides, since there will be a lot of juice from chicken and apples and it will easily escape if the sides are small.

We coat the whole chicken with our sauce and lay out the prepared apples around the perimeter. It is advisable to take small apples, since you do not need to cut them, but lay them straight whole.

Well, almost the entire recipe for cooking, it remains only to send it to a hot oven and that's it. If time is running out, then you can immediately send the chicken to the oven, and if not, then it is advisable to leave it for another hour so that it soaks in the sauce, so the dish will be much tastier and juicier.

Bake chicken at 200 degrees. Cooking time for chicken is 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken.

And still very important point If you use homemade chicken, the cooking time may be shortened. Since in domestic chicken less moisture. The same rule applies to chilled meat.

There are two ways to check the readiness of meat. You can pierce the meat with a fork or a toothpick, if the juice does not flow from the meat, then the meat is completely ready. But it is best to make a deep cut to the bone with a sharp knife, and if there is no pink juice and the meat also does not have a pink tint, then the meat is completely ready and can be safely removed from the oven.

Sleeve cooked chicken

The baking sleeve is very helpful in reducing the cooking time in the oven. In addition, the dish cooked in the culinary sleeve remains juicy and fragrant, since almost all the moisture that is released in the process heat treatment stays inside the sleeve. And the dishes in which we cook do not deteriorate, since the juice does not flow out and does not stick to the walls.

So why not try to cook chicken in the sleeve, especially since there are very good recipe how to bake chicken with apples in the sleeve.

Ingredients.

Chicken carcass 1.5-2 kg.

Salt, allspice.

Seasonings for chicken.

Sour apples.

Garlic.

Mayonnaise as the base for the sauce. Can be replaced with sour cream.

Honey.

Prunes if any.

Cooking process.

First you need to prepare the sauce with which you should coat the chicken carcass well. To do this, add the prepared ingredients to the mayonnaise, namely salt, pepper, crushed garlic, honey, oriental seasonings for chicken. We mix everything well and set aside in a warm place so that the honey dissolves a little in our sauce. By the way, you don’t need much honey, a tablespoon with a slide will be enough. Of course, it is desirable to use natural honey, but if there is none, then you can get by regular sugar. This will give the chicken a nice caramelized crust.

Now we need to prepare the kuru. Conduct an initial inspection for remaining feathers. Wash the chicken well and pat dry with a paper towel.

Coat the carcass with sauce, from head to toe. And leave it in this state for about an hour so that the sauce penetrates into the pores and the chicken is well marinated.

You want to cut the apples, you want to put them whole in the sleeve.

Now, after an hour, you can place the chicken in a baking sleeve and cover it with apples as much as possible; you can also fill the chicken with apples from the inside. Don't forget to tie the edges of the sleeve well and make small holes in it, otherwise the sleeve may simply explode in the oven.

Now turn on the oven and heat it up to 200 degrees. And bake the chicken there for about 1-1.5. if there is a desire to get a crispy fragrant fried skin at the exit, then the last 15-20 minutes by baking kura without a sleeve. Simply cut the sleeve off the top and send the dish back into the oven. The output will be a wonderful crust on the skin.

Chicken baked in foil with prunes

Whole chicken baked in the oven and stuffed with apples and prunes - what could be tastier? This dish belongs to the category of festive and can become the central part of the feast.

We check the chicken so that there are no pieces of feathers left on the skin, if necessary, set it on fire over the burner and remove it. Next, wash the chicken and blot the water.

We are preparing a marinating mixture, it will consist of mayonnaise or sour cream, salt, ground pepper and other seasonings (I used French herbs).

First, rub the chicken on top and inside with salt mixed with pepper and herbs, then coat it with thick sour cream or mayonnaise.

My apples and prunes, divide the apples into parts, remove the seeds and cut into slices. We mix apple slices with prunes and put the fruit in the carcass, stuff it as tightly as possible, you can put some apples from the side of the neck. The hole through which the apples were laid is sewn up with a thick needle and thread, leaving long ends.

We leave the chicken to marinate so that it is saturated with the taste of seasonings.

We put the carcass on its back in a baking tray or baking sheet and put it in the oven, heated to a temperature of 180 degrees. During cooking, fat will be rendered from the chicken, you need to periodically water the carcass with it so that it becomes a beautiful ruddy color. 30 minutes before readiness, put more slices of apples on a baking sheet, we will decorate the dish with these baked apples.

Cooking takes from 1 to 2 hours, it depends on the size of the chicken and on the oven. The finished chicken becomes evenly golden, and if pierced with a toothpick, it easily enters the meat.
