Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 4 h
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Cooking chicken should start with the preparation of the marinade. To do this, take vegetable oil and add dried herbs to it: oregano, rosemary and basil.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Grind cumin (cumin) and three inflorescences of fragrant cloves in a mortar.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Add cumin to the oil. Add paprika and hot ground pepper.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    The next step is to add dried garlic and a pinch of hops-suneli. Add salt to the marinade and mix until smooth.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Wash the chicken (including inside). Remove the tail (tail) and excess fat. Rub the chicken thoroughly with marinade inside and out. To do this, you will need about three tablespoons. The rest of the marinade will be needed later when baking. Put the chicken in the refrigerator for at least two hours for marinating.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    After this time, remove the chicken from the refrigerator. And now a little secret how to keep the breast juicy when baking. It is necessary to put thinly sliced pieces of butter under the skin of the breast. Be careful not to damage the skin. Butter should not be too soft, so that it does not have time to melt in your hands.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Transfer the chicken to the aerogrill on the back on the lowest grate.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    In conclusion, I advise you to make small incisions in the skin just above the shins on both sides.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    And secure the wings in the received pockets. So they will be protected from burning. Bake the chicken at a temperature of 150 degrees on an average blowout for an hour. Pour marinade over the chicken several times during cooking. Then turn the bird onto the breast and bake the back for 45 minutes at the same temperature. Periodically pour the remaining marinade over the back.

I recommend taking a medium-sized chicken, weighing about 1.3-1.5 kilograms. I have a farm chicken, and whatever you say, but its meat tastes significantly different from the industrial one for the better.
The degree of browning of the chicken can be adjusted at your discretion. To do this, increase (or decrease) the temperature and blowing, as well as the cooking time and the height of the grill, depending on what degree of roasting is necessary.
In any case, you need to periodically look at how the process is going, so as not to miss the moment of burning.
How can you know that the chicken is ready? To do this, stick a toothpick into the fleshiest part of the breast. And if the juice released from there is transparent (and not pinkish), then the chicken is ready to serve.
A whole baked chicken always looks festive. And the smells in the kitchen when baking are the most appetizing.
Chicken is suitable for all family members: after all, a breast without skin can be offered even to small children.
Bon appetit!
