• To cook poultry, it is advisable to use sour or sour-sweet apples. If they are just sweet, then the dish will not receive a piquant taste, for which it is valued.
• To make the chicken breast tender and juicy after cooking in the oven, pieces of butter are placed under the skin. You can use its mixture with garlic, spices, herbs. It will be even more delicious.
• To check if the chicken is ready, it is enough to make a toothpick with punctures in the thickest places. The stick should enter easily, and a clear juice will appear from the hole. If the ichor stands out, the bird must be kept in the oven again.
• No matter how beautiful a large chicken looks, it can be easily dried out in the oven and the meat will not taste good. For the preparation as a whole, it is advisable to choose carcasses weighing up to 2.5 kg. If the bird is the largest, it is advisable to marinate in advance.
