Ingredients

• Chicken carcass 1 piece
• Olive oil to taste
• Salt to taste
• Small onions 2 pieces
• Garlic 3-4 cloves
• Thyme 1-2 sprigs
• Bay leaves 2-3 pieces
• Canned or fresh lemon 1 piece

Cooking method

• Rinse the chicken and wipe dry. It is imperative to wipe the bird, as any moisture on the surface will interfere with the formation of a golden and crispy crust.

  

• Trim off excess poultry internal fat if necessary.

  

• Flip the carcass over to the chest and cut off the scent glands above the tail: they look like a pair of soft gray-yellow balls.

  

• Cut off any excess neck skin, and secure the rest with a toothpick or thread between the wings.

• Flip the carcass breast-side up and turn the tips of the wings over the back so they will not burn during baking.

  

• Rub the poultry with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt inside and out.

  

• Place the peeled onion and garlic inside the bird.

  

• Then send thyme and lavrushka.

  

• Send canned lemon to the chicken, which can be substituted with fresh citrus.

  

• Tie the chicken drumsticks with a non-synthetic thread.

  

• Send to the preheated oven. For chicken, the baking time is calculated using a simple formula: 20 minutes at 180 degrees for every half kilogram of weight.

• Let the carcass stand for about 10 minutes before slicing and removing all additions from the cavity. Otherwise, all the juice may leak out during cutting.
