4 cooking secrets

Important nuances of cooking see below.

For chicken baking, it is better to use a ceramic or cast-iron mold. These materials are heated gradually, the heat spreads evenly throughout the meat, and as a result, it is well baked and does not lose its juiciness. Cooking a whole chicken in a pan is not advisable. The chicken will be cooked much longer in a pan, it is better to bake on a baking sheet. It will take less time.
Do not bake chicken directly on a baking sheet. Cover it with baking paper or use deeper forms. When baking on a baking sheet, pollution gets not only its surface, but also the inner walls of the oven, which are sometimes difficult to wash.
If you bake the whole bird, do not forget to gut it, rinse it under running water and dry it with a paper towel. Without the last action, you will not be able to get a crispy crust.
Cooking chicken in the oven under the foil will help the meat turn out incredibly soft and juicy. The truth for this is to remember a few rules. Firstly, absolutely the entire surface should be covered with foil, no “bare” pieces should remain. Secondly, when placing the chicken on a baking sheet, remember that the “seams” from the joints of the layers of the metal film should always be on top.
