A chef's preparation

Often the chicken does not give enough juice. So before you start cooking, consider basting it with a mixture of cold water and salt , to brown it but also have sauce on the plate.

Feel free to flavor the chicken with whatever you want:salt, pepper and aromatic herbs, onions, garlic, mustard, etc.

Perfect cooking

A crispy oven chicken is also the temperature and the cooking time. A large chicken (about 1.8 kg) should roast for 1h15 at 240°C.

Tanning on all sides

My little advice is to start with the breast to cook a chicken, because that is where the meat is the thickest. In this case, place it on its back, which will prevent it from burning and drying out.

Mandatory watering

To brown the bust in the oven, it must baste it regularly with the cooking juices at the bottom of the dish, because that's the secret to having the crispiest poultry possible.

Once it's grilled properly, we turn the chicken over to roast the back, remembering to baste it from time to time too.

By following these few simple rules, you should have a chicken that is perfectly browned and very soft inside, to be served with steamed vegetables, rice or some fries...

It makes your mouth water just thinking about it!
