Chicken in a jar in its own juice

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make chicken in a jar in its own juice? First of all, prepare all the necessary products. If you have a frozen carcass, then it should be pre-thawed at room temperature. If you have a fresh chicken, then pluck it, remove the insides, scorch the excess fluff. Wash the chicken and dry it with paper napkins.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the bird into small portions.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add salt to taste and ground pepper to the meat. I added a little ground smoked paprika (to make the color of the chicken brighter) and 1 tbsp vegetable oil.

4. Step 4:

   

   Mix everything thoroughly, send the pieces to a food container or a cellophane bag to marinate. Leave in the refrigerator for at least an hour, a maximum of a day. The longer the chicken is marinated, the tastier the dish will turn out.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel the onion and garlic. Rinse and dry.

6. Step 6:

   

   Cut the onion into thin half rings or rings. Leave the garlic cloves whole or cut into 2-4 pieces lengthwise. The amount of garlic can be adjusted to taste.

7. Step 7:

   

   Wash the jar and dry it with a towel. The jar should be dry, this is very important. Put some onion rings, a bay leaf, a few peas of pepper and a little garlic on the bottom. For flavor, you can put a sprig of parsley, dill or basil.

8. Step 8:

   

   Lay out the chicken in one layer.

10. Step 9:

    

    Then repeat the layer with onion, pepper, garlic and herbs.

11. Step 10:

    

    Next make a chicken. And so on until the products run out. The final layer make a few rings of onion and garlic.

12. Step 11:

    

    Build a foil lid on top of the jar.

13. Step 12:

    

    Use a toothpick to make several punctures in the foil.

14. Step 13:

    

    Put the jar in a cold oven. If the jar is sent to a preheated oven, it may burst. Set the temperature from 180 to 200 degrees and leave to bake for one hour.

15. Step 14:

    

    At the end of cooking, turn off the oven and slightly open the door so that the jar gradually cools.

16. Step 15:

    

    Remove the slightly cooled jar from the oven, be careful not to burn yourself!

17. Step 16:

    

    Serve the chicken hot as an independent dish, garnished with fresh herbs.
