How to bake chicken in the oven in foil whole? First of all, prepare the chicken carcass. The recipe used a bird weighing 1200 grams. If you have a frozen chicken, then it should be removed from the freezer in advance, transferred to the refrigerator for slow defrosting, if there is no time, then leave at room temperature until defrosting is complete. Homemade chicken can bake a little longer than specified in the recipe.

Prepare all other components. Dry spices take any you most often use to marinate the bird. Rosemary can be excluded from the list of components, it has a specific aroma that not everyone likes. Replace the sugar in the recipe with honey, if desired, it will also give the skin a mouth-watering color.

In a small deep container, mix the soy sauce and vegetable oil. Add the sugar, garlic, pepper and spices passed through the press.

Mix everything well. Sugar should dissolve.

Rinse the chicken under running cold water and dry well with paper wipes outside and inside. The carcass should be almost dry. Apply the marinade to the bird.

Coat evenly on all sides and inside too. Send the chicken to a large cup, cover with cling film and leave to parine in a cool place for at least an hour. Ideal if the bird stays in the fridge all night. Alternatively, the chicken can be sent not to a cup, but to a cellophane bag.

Put the pickled carcass on the foil. Tie the legs with a thick thread, so the finished bird will look more appetizing. Remove leftover garlic, rosemary and spices from the brisket and legs on top. They have already fulfilled their role by giving the aromas to meat, and even when baking, they can burn and spoil the appearance of the dish.

Wrap the chicken on all sides with foil. Pack in a suitably sized baking dish and send to a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes. I baked on & quot; top-bottom & quot; at 200 degrees.

Next, expand or cut the foil from above with scissors, carefully, do not burn! Wrap the tips of the wings with foil at will so that they do not burn.

Brush the brisket and legs with a silicone brush with fat and juice, which stood out during the baking process of the chicken.

Change the oven mode to & quot; convection & quot; or & quot; grill & quot; and cook until the skin takes on a beautiful golden hue. Periodically check the bird, it will take from 5 to 15 minutes, the time depends on the capabilities of your oven.

Done! Serve with fresh vegetables, potatoes, all sorts of salads and more.
