For an appetizing crust

In order for chicken meat to have a great crust, you need to properly prepare the meat for the baking process. To do this, remove the remains of the marinade with a paper towel.

Then mix the salt with the spices and coat the surface of the chicken.

Correct temperature conditions

It is extremely important to set the right temperature when baking chicken. First, we set the temperature to 220 degrees. Thanks to this, the crust "sets".

Afterwards the temperature drops to 180 degrees.

A whole chicken takes about 50 minutes to bake. If you are cooking thighs and drumsticks in the oven, you will have to wait about 35 minutes. But the delicious wings will be ready in just a quarter of an hour.
