Instruction manual
1
If you bought a frozen bird, put it in a container and leave it to defrost for several hours. If time permits, place dishes with chicken in the refrigerator. At the same time, chicken will defrost more slowly, but will retain more nutrients and will not lose in taste.
2
Rinse the chicken inside and out under a stream of cold water. Dry it a little.
3
Chop the chicken along with the bones into small pieces. If you want a more dietary meal, remove the skin and cut off the fat from the chicken.
4
2 onions, peel and cut into half rings.
5
Wash 2 carrots well, peel and wash again. Cut the carrots into circles.
6
Take a clean, dry glass jar. Select the volume of the can based on the weight of the chicken. It can be one and a half liter jar or two liter.
7
Put layers of chicken, chopped onions and carrots, chopped bay leaves and peas of black pepper in a jar in layers. Do not forget to slightly add salt to each layer. Repeat if desired. You can use spicy herbs that are loved by your family when cooking chicken.
8
Cut 50 g butter into small pieces and put them in a jar on the top layer of vegetables.
9
Cover the can with a metal canning lid from which the gum has been removed. You can cover the jar with a piece of foil, pressing it to the neck.
10
Put the jar of chicken in the cold oven. Cooking is necessary at a temperature of 180 degrees. Cooking time depends on the size and age of the chicken. Try using a fork to separate the meat from the bones. If you make it easy - the chicken is ready.
