Poultry in the sleeve can be prepared in many ways, here are some of them:
- whole with a wonderful crispy crust or pieces in honey mustard sauce;
- with potatoes or vegetables;
- festive bird stuffed with rice or spicy with mayonnaise and garlic.
Today I want to focus on cooking juicy chicken with a crispy crust, baked whole in the sleeve. This easy step-by-step recipe will help you prepare this dish, even if you are preparing it for the first time.
Ingredients:
- carcass - 2-2.5 kg
- salt - to taste
- juice of half a lemon
- pepper mixture - 20-25 peas
- garlic - optional
- mustard "French" - 2-3 tbsp. l.
- butter - 50 g
- vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. l.
- seasonings: dried basil, rosemary, dill - 1 tsp each.
When choosing a carcass, we give preference to chilled and gutted plump chicken. We wash the bird, remove the remaining entrails and blood clots. Trim off the tail and excess skin on the neck. Dry with paper towels.
Apply marinade to dried poultry; this is the main condition for the formation of a crispy crust.
Using a spoon, easily and carefully separate the skin of the breast without damaging it.
Using a meat tenderizer with sharp spikes, we make numerous deep punctures in the breast.
Through these punctures, the marinade and oil will penetrate to the very depths, the dryish fillet will become soft and juicy
We prepare the marinade; the taste and color of the dish will depend on it. Place all the necessary ingredients in a bowl: salt, all seasonings, mustard. Crush the pepper mixture in a mortar or the flat side of a knife and place in a bowl. The aroma of crushed pepper is much brighter and richer than ground pepper.
Add lemon juice and vegetable oil there. Mix everything.
We made an amazing marinade with many flavors and aromas. A real flavor bomb: hot and piquant cloves, magical basil, sweet cinnamon, rosemary with a pine note, spicy dill, turmeric giving a golden color to the crust...
Lubricate the breast under the skin first with marinade, then with softened butter.
Pull the skin in place. It is under it that the breast will simmer and turn out unusually juicy.
With the remaining marinade, generously grease the carcass on all sides and pack it in a sleeve. We tie it on both sides with special clips, make several punctures in the film to allow steam to escape, and place it in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 60 minutes.
Cooking time and temperature will depend on the size of the bird. 20 minutes before the end of cooking, take out and cut the top of the bag. Then we send it back until it forms a golden crispy crust.
The bird can be served with a side dish of baked or fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes.

Your opinion is very important...
It would seem that there could be a simpler dish than chicken in the oven? Ah, no! Delicious chicken in the oven is the result of experiments, trial and error by many housewives. To avoid the long journey to the top of culinary skill in creating this dish, we suggest you use our tips and recipes, of which, in fact, there are a huge number. We have chosen for you the simplest, most delicious and affordable ones, so that you do not waste your precious time searching, but immediately begin taking decisive action.
Perhaps the easiest of all existing ways to cook delicious chicken in the oven is to bake it in a thick layer of coarse salt.
Ingredients:
1 chicken,
1 kg coarse salt,
ground black pepper - to taste.
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 170-180ºС in advance. Wash the bird carcass well, cut it in the center of the breast, open it like a book, and rub it with ground black pepper. Sprinkle salt evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and place the prepared chicken on it, back down. That's all, then bake it until done.
By the way, advice from my own experience: never put chicken in the oven immediately after taking it out of the refrigerator. Before cooking, leave it for 40 minutes at room temperature. Otherwise, the chicken will cook much longer than expected and will bake unevenly.
You probably already have a question: “Isn’t there too much salt? What if the chicken in the oven turns out too salty? There’s definitely no need to worry about this, because your chicken will absorb exactly as much salt as it needs for good taste, and a crispy crust and even baking will be ensured without much hassle.
As an alternative, you can offer the option of cooking chicken in a bottle. Just place the chicken carcass on a glass bottle filled with water and put it in the oven for 1-1.5 hours. The chicken needs to be marinated before this, of course. You can throw spices into the bottle. Or you can even add beer or white wine instead of water. It couldn't be simpler!
The meat juices need time to saturate the entire carcass, so after removing the chicken from the oven, let it sit for about 20 minutes.
It is much easier to get an appetizing golden brown crust on chicken if your oven is equipped with a grill; if not, brush the chicken with a small amount of melted honey or sour cream in a thin layer, and the result will exceed all your expectations. To grease the chicken, you can also use adjika mixed with mayonnaise.
To prevent the chicken from drying out in the oven and to remain tender and soft, be sure to tie the legs, tucking them crosswise, and cut off the thinnest tips of the wings.
Chicken in the oven "You'll lick your fingers"
Ingredients:
1 chicken,
adjika,
mayonnaise,
garlic,
parchment paper.
Preparation:
Stuff the chicken carcass with garlic, brush with adjika (preferably homemade), mixed half and half with mayonnaise, and leave for a couple of hours, periodically turning over and re-coating with drained mayonnaise. Then wrap the chicken well in lightly oiled parchment paper and place in the oven for 1 hour.
To ensure that the baked chicken has a soft skin and the meat is easily separated from the bones, simmer the bird at a low temperature for more than 1 hour. If you want a crispy crust and thicker meat, cook the chicken at high temperature.
Chicken in the oven always releases a lot of fat. Some chefs call it “liquid gold” and use it to sauté vegetables. You too can use their example. Chop potatoes, onions, carrots and fry in chicken fat, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and a fragrant, juicy, golden-colored side dish is ready! You can soak pieces of bread in fat and make crispy croutons.
In combination with a bouquet of different spices, as well as vegetables, rice, buckwheat, potatoes or mushrooms, chicken in the oven acquires completely new notes of taste and aroma.
Ingredients (quantity at your discretion):
1 young hen,
rice,
carrot,
onion,
garlic,
spices, herbs,
mayonnaise.
Preparation:
Wash the young chicken without cutting the belly. Be sure to dry with a paper towel. This is necessary to ensure that the skin turns out rosy and crispy. Boil the rice until half cooked, fry the onions and carrots. Place the rice over the fried vegetables, add peppercorns, bay leaves, and herbs to taste. If the chicken is not very fatty, add a little butter to the prepared filling or lard cut into small pieces (whichever you prefer). Coat the chicken inside and out with a mixture of mayonnaise, crushed garlic and ground pepper (you can add mustard, but this is not for everyone). Then stuff the chicken with the prepared filling, sew up the hole, place it on a baking sheet and put it in the oven. First turn up the heat so that the crust browns, then turn down the heat. Cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken and will be approximately 1 hour. Don’t forget to look into the oven from time to time and baste the chicken with the juices that have released.
Ingredients:
1 chicken,
1 stack buckwheat,
200 g fresh or frozen mushrooms,
1 carrot,
2 onions,
5-6 cloves of garlic,
200 ml sour cream,
greens, salt, ground black pepper - to taste.
