Chicken on a jar
4 servings
120 minutes
In the case of chicken, a jar is not a whim, but a functional element. Firstly, the chicken is heated from all sides. Secondly, the steam compensates for the juice coming out of the chicken, and the meat remains tender, and due to the spices, the chicken acquires a more subtle aroma. It is better to take a tall but narrow jar: it is more convenient to put the chicken on it.
