Baked chicken is a dish that can be found both on festive tables and on ordinary days at dinner. Probably, any housewife has heard or knows the recipe for its preparation in a conventional oven. And what about the multicooker, which today has become very popular among lovers of tasty and he althy food? A whole chicken baked in a slow cooker is a reality! To do this, you will need a little time, chicken, a slow cooker and the necessary ingredients for cooking.

So, let's bake the chicken in the slow cooker. You will need:

• chicken (the size depends on the desire and the size of the multicooker bowl);
• 100g medium fat sour cream for marinade;
• s alt, spices, seasoning, herbs and other similar additions - to taste;
• 1 medium onion;
• 1 carrot;
• 2 garlic cloves.

The number of ingredients (as well as their list as a whole) may vary depending on the size of the bird, the taste preferences of the people for whom it is prepared, and many other factors.

The first thing we do when we bake chicken in a slow cooker is mix sour cream, s alt, pepper, herbs. It is advisable to give preference to fresh herbs and black pepper. If you like dry greens, you can use this option. If desired, you can add a special seasoning for chicken. Next, squeeze the garlic into this mixture and mix everything well. You can also add some special chicken sauce or your favorite, tartare for example.

With the resulting sauce, you need to carefully coat the chicken on all sides, including the inside. At the end of this action, wrap the carcass in cling film and send it to the refrigerator, where the chicken will marinate for a couple of hours.

Since we bake chicken in a slow cooker, it will turn out juicy and soft, but in order for it to taste like chicken from the oven, it is necessary to prepare onions and carrots.

When the meat is marinated, you need to remove the film and very carefully put the carcass in the multicooker bowl. Note that you can not add sunflower oil, since the amount of fat contained in the chicken will be quite enough for its preparation. Part of the onion fits inside the chicken, part - on top. We do the same with carrots.

After that, you need to turn on the multicooker and set the mode"Baking" for 1 hour. After some time (about half an hour), turn the chicken over and add a little water. In half an hour the dish is ready! If it seemed to you that the meat was not baked, bake the chicken in a slow cooker for some more time.

In exactly the same way, you can bake not a whole chicken, but its parts. If suddenly the volume of the bowl does not allow you to cook the chicken carcass, you can cut it or cook the legs or wings. The taste will be about the same.

Note that the temperature conditions in different multicookers may differ. So, for example, chicken baked in a Polaris slow cooker usually cooks faster than in a Philips appliance. In some slow cooker, the skin will turn out to be more crispy, somewhere the meat will be softer. Do not be afraid to experiment with modes and ingredients, please your loved ones with new solutions and dishes. The multicooker will definitely help you! Bon appetit!
