Recipe 1: Chicken with a crust
According to this recipe, you can use any part of the carcass, or buy chicken and cut it into portions. Prepare an ordinary frying pan and let's get started.
Required ingredients:
- chicken meat - 1 kg;
- salt, pepper, red paprika,
- garlic - 2-3 teeth,
- cumin - a handful,
- sunflower oil.
Cooking method:
Let's get started. Let's prepare the meat first. If we, for example, have chicken thighs, then first they need to be washed and dried. Transfer the thighs to a bowl, salt and pepper and sprinkle with paprika. Mix well and beat a little with your hands against the side of the bowl, as we usually do with minced meat. Pass the garlic cloves through a press and add to the meat. Mix again and send the thighs in a plastic bag. Add a little (1 tablespoon) vegetable oil. We tie a bag and transfer our meat in it. We leave aside in a cold place for about 1 hour - let it marinate.
Then pour sunflower oil into the pan, heat it well and put the meat in one row on the pan. Cover with a lid and fry the meat over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Then we remove the lid from the frying pan, turn the meat over to the other side and now, without covering the frying pan with a lid, we continue to cook until a beautiful golden brown crust is formed. At the end, in about 2 minutes, sprinkle the meat with caraway seeds. This time is enough for the meat to be saturated with the pleasant aroma of cumin. On a wide serving plate, lay out a beautiful green pillow with lettuce leaves for the meat, and lay ruddy thighs on it. Cut off a thin circle of lemon and form a beautiful shape from it to decorate the dish. Sprinkle a little pomegranate around the meat on green lettuce leaves and serve.

Cooking method:
Let's get started: wash the chicken and dry it with a towel. In a glass, mix salt, pepper, grill seasoning, paprika and olive oil. Mix everything well and rub the chicken on all sides. Peel the garlic cloves and cut them into several pieces. Without damaging the skin, we try to stick the pieces of garlic between the meat and the skin. In the middle of the chicken, if desired, you can put an apple.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and place it on a fireproof mold. We add a little oil and send to bake for half an hour. If your oven has a valve, you can use this recipe. Only when baking, do not forget to place a tray under the valve so that the fat that will come out during baking will ruin the oven.
Recipe 3: Chicken with a crust
For this recipe, we will use a sleeve to cook the crusty chicken.
Required ingredients:
- chicken - 1 carcass.
For the marinade:
- tomato juice,
- mayonnaise,
- salt, ground black pepper and garlic.
Cooking method:
Grind the garlic cloves and mix them with mayonnaise, tomato juice, salt and ground black pepper. Wash the carcass, dry it and rub it with prepared marinade. Put the chicken in a bowl, top with the remaining amount of marinade, cover the bowl with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours. The chicken will be even tastier if you marinate it overnight.
Let's start preparing: Cut off about 50 cm of the sleeves. Lay down the chicken and tie the edges. Put it in a baking sheet, and make several punctures on the sleeve on top.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and send the mold with chicken. After half an hour, cut the sleeve on top with culinary scissors and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes. As a result, we get juicy and tender chicken meat with an appetizing golden crust. The goal is achieved!
Recipe 4: Chicken with a crust
We offer you an old and easy recipe for cooking chicken with a crust, which will remind many of you of your happy childhood.
Required ingredients:
- chicken - 1.5 kg;
- coarse salt - 1 kg;
- a handful of dill;
- lemon zest,
- olive oil,
Cooking method:
In order to cook delicious chicken according to our recipe, in principle, nothing is required from you. You are only needed for the first stage of its preparation.
Take dill seeds and pound them with a pestle and mortar. Mix everything with salt. This is not necessary, but this will make the salt more flavorful.
Take a handful of your favorite aromatic herbs, grind them in a mortar and add a little olive oil. Remove the zest from the lemon and rub again with a pestle. Rub the carcass with the resulting mixture on all sides. Place the weed you have left in the tummy of the chicken. You can cut the lemon into circles and send it to the tummy too. Now pour the prepared salt on a baking sheet and place the chicken on it. Grease the chicken with oil on top and send it to an oven preheated to 220 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove carefully from salt and serve with savory sauce. If the salt does not lag behind the meat on its own, then rinse the salt crust with warm water.
- To give your chicken an Asian flavor, we recommend marinating it in ginger before cooking. Grate 30 grams of fresh ginger and mix with chopped orange. Add 2 tablespoons to the mixture. Teriyaki sauce, stir and spread over the chicken.
- To make the chicken meat tender and juicy, be sure to marinate it for at least 2 hours.
In order to feed a company of 3-5 people, a one and a half kilogram carcass is enough. Of course, choose chilled. By the way, it should always be in the refrigerator in reserve. You can put the chicken in the oven right on the baking sheet, but keep in mind that it will bake much better in a cast iron or ceramic mold, and you will get exactly crispy chicken. In glass or metal dishes, the chicken is more likely to burn, and the crust will turn out to be more black than golden.
The baking temperature is standard - 180 degrees. An hour is enough: during this time, you will tell each other about new items in cosmetics stores, show off your new handbag from the sale and tease guests with a delicious scent from the kitchen.
How to make crispy chicken
There are several recipes, but speed and an accurate result are important to you: guests in love with your culinary skills (and, perhaps, a future mother-in-law). The simplest thing is to cut the chicken carcass in half lengthways along the breastbone and rub it generously inside and outside with black pepper. Put salt on the bottom of the baking dish - plain or sea salt, and to get a thick, even layer. Thanks to the salt, the meat will cook perfectly, and you will get what you want - a golden glossy shine and an amazing chicken taste! Then put the grated carcass back on the salt layer. In an hour, the chicken is ready! If you have a grill function, turn it on 10 minutes before the chicken is ready: this will make the crust perfect.
Grilled Crispy Chicken Recipe
There is one secret for the crust to be truly crispy: the chicken should not come into contact with the fat that comes out of it. This is best avoided by placing it on the grill in the oven. Lightly wipe the washed carcass with a paper towel, also cut it in half along the breast and grease it with salt and pepper inside and out. Now grease the top with vegetable oil and - on the wire rack in a preheated cabinet!
Let the chicken sweat there at a temperature of 240 degrees for 20 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 180 degrees and leave for another hour.
Secret ingredients for the marinade
To give the chicken a special flavor, you can rub it with sour cream or honey. These are the easiest and fastest ways. But if you have the time, you can make a complete crispy chicken marinade. Melt 30 g of butter on the fire, mix it with half a spoonful of salt, red and black pepper to taste, crush two cloves of garlic there. Spread this mixture on the chicken and put it in the oven for half an hour, turning the lever 170 degrees. Then remove the chicken and brush it with a mixture of melted honey (4 tablespoons are enough) with lemon juice (2 tablespoons), and let it cook for another 45 minutes. You can water it with this mixture several times during baking. Always try the readiness by piercing the chicken with a fork. If liquid appears, then you need to wait another 10 minutes, and then you will definitely get a crispy chicken! In the meantime, she is baking, take care of the side dish: stewed vegetables or vitamin salad - that's it!

Any housewife knows how to bake crispy chicken in the oven. But not everyone has this simple, at first glance, dish turns out to be perfect. At the same time, it is vitally necessary to have such a recipe in your culinary piggy bank, because a grilled chicken or simply baked chicken is a win-win option for a festive table. And it doesn't take much time to cook.
So that the dish does not upset once again, use our tips.
- Choose the right carcass. This is just as important as knowing how to roast a golden-crust chicken properly. You should buy a chilled carcass, or better a steam room (you can buy this from private owners, but homemade chicken is usually tough). Fresh meat is much richer in taste than frozen meat, in addition, after defrosting, the fibers always become tough and dry. The bird's age is optimal - up to a year, but since it is impossible to clarify this in the store, choose a carcass weighing up to 1.5 kg. The color of the meat should also grab your attention. The skin is white or slightly yellow, the fat is also white, without spots. The meat fibers should be pink and even. Refrain from buying if you notice gray areas on the skin and yellowish grease. And also sniff the carcass and feel free to buy if you feel a pleasant, slightly sweet smell.
- Pick up the dishes. It also affects the quality of the finished dish. Whole chicken in the oven with a crispy crust will bake evenly and delight you with a delicate taste if cooked in a cast iron or ceramic form. Of course, metal and glass should not be thrown away, but there is always a greater risk that the meat will not bake and burn in places. Therefore, during cooking, do not forget to turn it over for even baking.
- Watch your temperature. 180-200 degrees is considered optimal for a chicken; the meat should be placed in an already preheated oven. For each kilogram of weight, it takes 40 minutes in the oven, so bake a one and a half kilogram carcass for 1 hour. Professional chefs determine the readiness of meat not by eye, but with a special thermometer, which is installed in the thickness of the fibers. The chicken is ready when the thermometer reads 85 degrees. If there is no appliance in the house, a toothpick will replace it: pierce the breast with it, and when you see the clear flowing juice, remove the form from the oven.
- Don't forget about the grill! This is the easiest way to make crispy chicken in the oven. Just turn it on for 10 minutes before the end of cooking. If there is no grill, honey or sour cream will provide the crust. They should be greased on the carcass before you send it to the oven. By the way, it is better not to use the most popular mayonnaise among housewives: it will saturate the meat with acetic acid, which will make it lose its tenderness.
