Grilled chicken
6 servings
75 minutes
This recipe is suitable for both a festive table and a regular lunch or dinner. For a holiday, you can put pineapples or pears inside the chicken, although even without them it will take a worthy place on the festive table.
1
Wash the medium-sized chicken outside and inside, remove the entrails (if any), dry it with a towel (it's difficult to do this inside, so it's not necessary to do it inside)
- Chicken: 1 piece
2
Mix spices, garlic (pressed through a garlic press), salt, and oil in a separate container.
- Garlic: 2 heads
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Paprika: 1 tablespoon
- Basil: 1 tablespoon
3
Coat the chicken with the mixture first inside, then on the back, then place it on its back in a greased baking dish and coat all remaining parts of the carcass.
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
4
Tie the chicken legs with white cotton thread (to prevent them from spreading apart while baking)
5
Bake in the oven on the upper grill convection mode at 180C for about 1 hour (depends on the size of the chicken, 1 hour is for medium-sized chicken), check readiness with a toothpick (if it comes out easily and juice flows out — the chicken is ready)
