Chicken in a baking bag - zero fat and maximum flavor

5 secrets to note

Cooking should begin by identifying the ingredients. There are a few secrets here.

1. If you bake soft vegetables with chickens - tomatoes, eggplant or zucchini, then they will give extra juice and will acquire a watery taste. For dry, low-fat chicken, such an “additive” is highly desirable, as this will allow the meat to become juicier.
2. In the preparation of chicken with potatoes in a baking bag in the oven, do not add the above vegetables. Better add onions. Otherwise, along with chicken, the juice of these vegetables is also consumed by potatoes - it will become liquid, sour and unpleasant in taste.
3. It is best to add tomatoes to an already prepared baked chicken - they will give freshness and pleasant acidity.
4. Potatoes and carrots are perfectly baked together with chicken - 40 minutes is enough for them at a temperature of 200 degrees. This must be considered when preparing meat. If the chicken is not pickled and baked with potatoes, then you need to cut it into small pieces. Then the cooking time will not be much different and the chicken will not remain raw.
5. The main secret of the chicken recipe in the oven in the sleeve is to pack the ingredients well and pack the bag tightly. The meat will be baked in its own juice, and if the latter flows out, the dish will turn out dry and not tasty.
