There are several ways to cook chicken in kefir. To get juicy and tender meat, it is better to use marinating. To do this, you need to take pieces of chicken and pour them with kefir. You can add garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, suneli hops, bay leaf and any spices to the marinade. The chicken must be refrigerated for at least three hours.
When the chicken is already sufficiently saturated with marinade, you can start cooking. Pieces of chicken should be transferred to a baking tray, oiled, and sent to the oven for 20-30 minutes.
If you use the marinade, pouring it into pieces of chicken, you get a stew. This cooking method is best used for chicken breasts. Kefir will make the meat juicy and even more tender. This is a great option for those who follow their figure.
There is no time for pickling, then you can use a faster method of cooking. It is necessary to fry the chicken in a pan, transfer it to a baking sheet and pour it with a mixture of kefir, herbs, spices and grated cheese. This sauce is thick and aromatic.
Kefir marinade can also be used for the preparation of whole chicken, but for this it is advisable to increase the pickling time to one day. Pickled chicken can be fried in a jar, in foil or just on a baking sheet.
