Chicken, baked in the oven. Chicken with caramelized oranges is prepared in a "on the bank" way, which allows you to get a strikingly delicious chicken with a crispy thin, like parchment paper, a crust without a single drop of fat and soft, tender, juicy meat. In this case, the water bank inside the chicken acts as a steam bath, which keeps the meat from drying out, and all the fat is heated and removed due to the special arrangement of the chicken in the form of a rider, so the quality of the fried skin is quite special in comparison with other methods of preparation . If you add to this the aroma of spices and the bright taste of caramelized oranges, then none of the most demanding gourmet will try to taste this dish.
Ingredients:- Chicken 1.5 kg
- Orange juice 30 ml
- Sour cream 50 g
- Black pepper powder 1 tsp.
- Oregano dry 0.5 tsp.
- Rosemary dry 0.5 tsp.
- Paprika sweet ground 1 tsp.
- Curry 1 tsp.
- Orange 4 pcs.
- Martini 30 ml
- Sugar 100 g
- Olive oil 4 tbsp. l.
- Step 1 Prepare the necessary products for cooking: chicken, oranges, spices, sour cream or mayonnaise and martini. We will also need a narrow elongated jar with a volume of 350-400 ml, for example, from coffee.
- Step 2 Pour salt and spices onto a plate and mix them.
- Step 3 Wash the chicken, cut off the fat gland on the tail, check that there are no feathers left on the skin. Grate the chicken with salt with spices on the outside and inside, leave for 30 minutes.
- Step 4 Oranges peeled, cut into circles with a thickness of 7 mm. If you like the taste of caramelized oranges with bitter taste, you can not peel the peel. Fold the sliced oranges in a deep bowl and sprinkle martini, leave in such a shape for a while until the chicken is soaked with spices.
- Step 5 Drain the martini and orange juice and juice, then squeeze another spoonful of juice, add sour cream or mayonnaise and mix everything.
- Step 6 In a jar, pour water on 2/3, put it on a baking tray, or even better in the baking tray. Put the chicken on the jar and grease the prepared mixture. On the legs and wings put protective "armor" of foil, so they do not unnecessarily dried. Pour a small amount of water into the tray so that the draining fat does not burn at the bottom.
- Step 7 Put the chicken into a baking oven for 1-1.5 hours in the oven, preheated to 180 ° C. The baking time will depend on the size of the chicken and oven modes.
- Step 8 Oranges get wet with a napkin, put in warmed olive oil, sprinkle with sugar and caramelize until light browning. After each batch of oranges, the frying pan needs to be washed and poured with fresh oil so that the oranges do not burn.
- Step 9 Oranges cool down and, when the chicken is ready, lay them together with a hot chicken on a dish.
