How to make tobacco (tapaca) chicken in the oven? It is imperative to purchase a chilled chicken carcass, this will guarantee that the product has not been frozen repeatedly and, accordingly, should be fresh. It is better to use chicken, not chicken, since chicken meat is already tougher and less tasty. Rinse the chicken carcass thoroughly under running water, dry with a paper towel. The amount of salt can be adjusted to taste.

We cut the chicken carcass along the breast along the entire length so that it can be unfolded as a book.

Then we put the carcass on the cutting board and beat it off with a kitchen hammer so that it becomes completely flat, but this must be done carefully, without damaging the skin.

We prepare marinade. Pour ground red pepper, ground paprika, a pinch of ground coriander, a mixture of peppers into a bowl, add lemon juice, vegetable oil and salt, mix.

With this marinade, we rub the chicken carcass well from all sides. We leave the chicken alone for an hour, which is enough time to drink spices.

We put the chicken in the pan and fry for 5 minutes on both sides to make it brown well. From above, the chicken must be crushed with oppression. You can put a plate under the lid so that it fits tightly to the carcass.

Then transfer the fried chicken into a baking dish. In the oven, the chicken also needs to be baked under the yoke. You can put a baking sheet or other refractory form on top of the chicken and put a pan of water or other cargo on top. Heat the oven to 210 degrees.

We bake chicken for about 30 minutes, but you need to focus on the work of your oven and the size of the chicken, perhaps it will take more time to bake. Tobacco chicken can be served with sauce, fresh vegetables and herbs. Enjoy your meal!
