Which could be simpler and tastier than preparing a chicken for the festive table. After all, there is no time to cook something else from meat, since you have to make salads and cook other dishes for the celebration. With a slow cooker, you can cope with the task, albeit not faster, but without trouble. The advantages of cooking any dishes in a slow cooker are simplicity and excellent taste.

Products for work:

  • a small carcass of chicken for 1-1.5 kg;
  • bay leaf - to taste;
  • salt, a mixture of black ground pepper, fragrant and Curry - 1.5 tsp.

This delicious dish is prepared like this:

  1. The chicken needs to be thoroughly washed under a stream of running water. You need to wash both outside and “look” inside. As for the size of the carcass, it should be small to fit into the multicooker bowl. Choose approximately this, according to the size of the working bowl of the device.
  2. The chicken was washed, lay out on a plate, even if the excess fluid is dragging. And we will engage in the most interesting: we will prepare a spicy mixture for lubricating the bird. It is good if there is a mixture of peppers with peas - just this spice can be chopped and immediately mixed with carry powder. This spice does not have a strong aroma, but it performs a different function - it gives a delicate golden hue to any dish. The main thing here is not to overdo it, then the result will please.
  3. Mix chopped pepper, add carry, as well as a teaspoon of ordinary salt (not small).
  4. The resulting mixture must be thoroughly grate the carcass of chicken: first inside, and then outside.
  5. Try to rub a mixture of salt with pepper so that it is evenly distributed. And when you rub the chicken outside, then try to rub the mixture into the skin well with your fingers, as if making a light massage.
  6. In the middle of the carcass, it is necessary to put a bay leaf (if you like this spice), you can also put 8-10 peas of a whole fragrant pepper in a pair with bay leaf.
  7. The prepared chicken must be placed in a multicooker bowl. How you do this - it does not matter. It is only important that the chicken is conveniently accommodated there.
  8. Interesting, but you do not need to add water and other liquids. All that is required of you is to close the device cover, set the desired program and wait. And the chicken will be prepared entirely in the slow cooker in the "baking" mode, the expected cooking time is within an hour. As for the temperature, in the presence of the multi -car program, we set the regulator 180 degrees.
  9. Start, time has gone. After 35-40 minutes, look inside the multicooker and see how the cooking process goes. The chicken needs to be turned on the other side. It's okay if the side of the carcass leans against the wall of the multicooker bowl.
  10. To get a ruddy crust, it is necessary to turn the carcass 2-3 times.
  11. We check the readiness of the chicken entirely in the slow cooker in the same way as when cooking in the oven. We use a toothpick or a thin wooden stick. It should be dry and clean. By the way, instead of a wand you can use a knife - it is important to understand the degree of readiness of meat. The skin should be ruddy and the meat should be soft. When piercing the finished dish, transparent juice should be released.

With what to serve the entire chicken, prepared in a slow cooker - you decide. But this dish is best combined with salads prepared from fresh vegetables, with stewed vegetables, boiled wild rice or potatoes. Enjoy your meal!
