When we cook a whole chicken in the oven, we have high expectations for the dish.
Every housewife wants the bird to be as tasty as possible.
An important condition is the presence of a crust. Thanks to it, the meat remains soft and tender, notes chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.
What are 3 secrets that will help you achieve the desired result?
Mix honey with mustard and soy sauce
This secret is used by many professional chefs who cook the most delicious and high-quality chicken. Thanks to these three components, the crust will be beautiful.
You won’t be ashamed to put this dish on the table even on holidays.
Cognac
This option is more unexpected, but chefs often use cognac. The alcoholic drink not only allows the crust to appear, but also makes the chicken itself several times tastier.
Sour cream
If you are not ready for such experiments, then pay attention to regular sour cream: it will also allow you to get a crust.
Also, using sour cream will make the bird more tender.
