Recipe Details:
Chicken baked in the oven on a glass jar or a bottle of water turn out exceptionally juicy and tender. The most important thing is to add spices and a little salt to a jar of water. That will make all the aroma from the spices penetrate into the meat. This method of cooking is quite simple and diabetic-friendly, but make sure that the height of your oven is sufficient to accommodate the chicken “sitting” on a bottle or a glass jar. Also make sure to put a baking sheet under the chicken, to collect all the juices and fat that will be released from the meat. Serve chicken with any side dish or salads.
Step 1 Fill a glass jar or a bottle three quarters with plain water, add a pinch of salt, chopped or crushed garlic, bay leaves, allspice, and thyme. Step 2 Wash the chicken, wipe it off and rub inside and out with salt and pepper. Tie the legs. Step 3 Preheat oven to 360 F. Put the chicken on the jar or bottle of water, so the bird firmly “sits” on top of it. Wrap the wings with foil so that they do not burn during baking. Roast the chicken for 45 minutes, then increase the temperature to 430 F and cook for 20 more minutes. Every 15 minutes of baking, brush the chicken with soy sauce or fat that will drip from the chicken. Step 4 When the chicken is ready, take it out of the oven and remove from the jar or bottle. Serve hot and enjoy!
