Postopek

Korak za korakom

1
Pat the whole chicken completely dry with paper towels, inside and out.
Približno 5 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Ensuring the chicken skin is very dry is the key to getting it crispy during roasting.
2
Combine all marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor.
Približno 5 min
3
Blend the marinade ingredients until a smooth, thick paste forms.
Približno 2 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice to make sure everything is well combined.
4
Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin of the breasts and thighs.
Približno 8 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Gently lift the skin with your fingers to create pockets for the marinade.
5
Place the chicken in a large bowl or zip-top bag, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
Kuharjeva opomba: A longer marinating time will result in a more flavorful and tender chicken.
6
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and place a roasting rack inside a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet.
7
Place the marinated chicken on the rack and roast until the skin is dark and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 74°C (165°F).
Približno 1 h 15 min
Kuharjeva opomba: If the skin starts to get too dark before the chicken is cooked, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes before carving.
Približno 10 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it stays moist.

Pravilno shranjevanje

Shranjevanje

Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Pogrevanje

Reheat in a 175°C (350°F) oven until warmed through to help re-crisp the skin.
