General cooking principles
The chicken is roasted on a spit, but you can also bake it on a regular oven rack. Or you can be original and do it with a bottle. This also affects the taste of the future meat, although the cooking time is almost always the same.
The longer the bird is marinated, the juicier and more tender the meat will be. You can leave it to marinate for twelve hours to get the most delicious chicken. Usually for this dish they take a large carcass, at least 1.5 kg.

How to cook:
- Wash the chicken. Under no circumstances should it be frozen, either now or before. Trim off all excess fat and remove feathers, if any.
- In a small bowl, use a fork or whisk to mix the mayonnaise and mustard. Add spices to them, including suneli hops, and finely chopped peeled garlic.
- Rub the resulting marinade onto the chicken outside and inside. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon inside the chicken.
- Place the bird in the refrigerator to marinate for at least two hours.
- Remove the carcass and place it on a special spit. Place the other half of a lemon inside; no need to squeeze it. Tie the legs together with thread.
- Place a baking tray with water on the bottom of the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
- Place the chicken in the oven, close it, and turn on the “Grill” function. Cook for at least an hour.
- You can check the meat for doneness using a toothpick. If you poke a hole in the bird and some juice comes out, the dish is ready.
Tip: You can put peeled potato wedges in the water that is poured into the pan. They will bake while the chicken cooks and are ready to serve as a side dish. In addition, they will be saturated with the juice that will drip from the bird during cooking.
On a spit
It's easiest to cook if your oven has a rotating skewer. Here is a simple recipe for grilled chicken in the oven on a spit.
Will be required
- chicken carcass weighing about 1.5 kg - 1 pc.;
- soy sauce - 30 ml;
- onion - 1 head;
- garlic - 4-5 large cloves;
- salt, pepper and spices - to taste.
Tip: During cooking, a lot of fat drips off the bird. Place a baking sheet with potatoes and other vegetables down so that the goodness does not go to waste. Make sure they don't burn - their cooking time is 20-40 minutes.
Cooking steps
- We wash the bird and dry it with a paper towel.
- Using a syringe, we inject soy sauce into the thickest parts of the meat.
- We cut several cloves of garlic into slices or sticks and place them under the skin of the bird. Do not cut or pierce the skin or meat! Otherwise, the chicken on the spit will lose more juice and turn out dry.
- Press the remaining garlic, mix with salt and spices and rub the carcass with the mixture inside and out. Put it in a saucepan, close the lid tightly (so as not to absorb moisture) and put it in the refrigerator to marinate. Optimally - for 6 hours. If you don’t have time, you can cook right away.
- We take out the chicken and thread it onto a skewer with the neck in the direction of the handle. Place a peeled onion on a skewer and push it inside the chicken. You can use a whole lemon instead of an onion. We tie the legs and wrap the wings to the carcass.
Tip: Some recipes recommend cutting off the wings and legs with toothpicks, but you shouldn’t do that. Firstly, we get additional holes for fat to leak out, and secondly, during cooking the joints become loose and the wing or leg can come loose.
- Place the bird in a cold (!) oven. Turn on the grill for 25 minutes to set the crust and prevent the juice from leaking out.
- Next, we use the following thermal modes:
- turn the breast up, turn on “top and bottom” and rotate the skewer - 20 minutes at 220°C;
- turn the back up and turn on the “up and down” and rotation of the spit again - 20 minutes at 220°C;
- “grill” - 20–30 minutes.
On average, grilled chicken in the oven on a spit takes about 1.5 hours, but if you get a giant weighing more than 2 kg, it will take 2 hours or more.
Tip: check the bird’s readiness with a toothpick: pierce its thigh deeply, up to the bone, and if clear juice flows, it means it’s ready.
Cooking grilled chicken in the oven:
Step 1: Prepare the chicken.
Clean the broiler chicken carcass with a knife to remove any remaining entrails. Afterwards, remove the skin from the chicken by easily prying it with a knife and pulling it away from you; it will come off freely from the broiler chicken. Rinse the chicken carcass under running water, pat it with paper kitchen towels to remove excess moisture, and place it in a deep bowl. To marinate the chicken better, use a knife to make small cuts throughout the chicken on the legs, thighs, chest and under the wings.
Step 2: prepare the marinade.
Place the required amount of salt, dried chili pepper, mayonnaise, dried garlic, concentrated lime juice, vegetable oil and Garam Masala spice into a deep plate. Mix the ingredients with a tablespoon until smooth. Mix thoroughly so that the mixture does not form lumps.
Step 3: marinate the chicken.
The marinade you prepared turned out to be quite spicy, so for further actions, put on rubber gloves on your hands. Hold the chicken with your other hand and apply a layer of marinade to cover the entire carcass. Rub the marinade into all parts of the carcass under the wings, into the thighs, neck and breast, and don’t forget to coat the inside of the chicken with the marinade. Then transfer the bird to a deep bowl, cover the container with cling film and refrigerate for 12 hours, or better yet, for a day.
Step 4: bake the chicken.
After the required time has passed, or when you decide to cook this flavorful chicken, preheat the oven to 250 - 260 degrees Celsius. Remove the bowl of chicken from the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap and place the chicken on the skewer, threading it so that it fits tightly and does not slide in different directions. Very carefully place the spit in the preheated oven, place the tray down so that the fat and chicken juice drips into it and bake the grilled chicken for 25 - 30 minutes. Then open the oven and make a small cut in the chicken loin, insert a knife to the bone, the meat of the finished chicken should be light beige in color. If the meat near the bone is pink, close the oven and let the chicken cook for another 5 to 10 minutes until fully cooked. Then check the bird's readiness again. If the chicken is ready, turn off the oven, let the carcass sit for a while, 5-7 minutes is enough, and then place it on a large flat plate, holding the spit with a kitchen towel.
Step 5: Place the grilled chicken in the oven.
Grilled chicken in the oven is served hot. Immediately before serving, place it on a large flat plate, remove the spit with a knife and place it on the table whole or cut into portions. This magnificent hot meat dish will be an excellent addition to any side dish. If you wish, before serving, you can pour the juice and fat that remained on the tray over the chicken, garnish it with fresh herbs or fresh chopped vegetables. The ideal aperitif for this aromatic dish is red Georgian wine. Cook and savor with pleasure! Bon appetit!
Tips for the recipe:
– − Indian spice garam masala can be purchased in supermarkets or online stores, or you can prepare it yourself. Mix several ingredients in a deep plate, 10 grams per 140 grams of the finished product: ground black and white peppers, cloves, balabar leaves, nutmeg leaves, black and white cumin seeds, cinnamon, black, brown and green cardamom pods, nutmeg, star anise and coriander seeds. The spice is ready!
– − Dry ground garlic can be replaced with 2 – 3 cloves of fresh garlic, having previously crushed it through a garlic press.
– − In this way you can cook not only a whole chicken, you can use chicken breast, thighs, drumsticks, wings. But keep in mind that smaller pieces of chicken will roast faster on the spit than larger pieces or a whole chicken.
– − Instead of concentrated lime juice, you can use regular lemon juice, just squeeze it from the citrus into any container and separate the amount you need.
– − The longer you marinate your chicken, the softer the meat becomes and the faster it will cook.
Grilled chicken marinated with milk and yogurt
This recipe has its own peculiarity, which is the unusual taste of the chicken if you cook it exactly as described below. The result is a nice hint of smoked meat. And it’s all about a fairly simple marinade and spices that are usually used for barbecue. The dish turns out to be quite spicy, with a characteristic Caucasian taste. The aroma will drive anyone crazy, so set the table in advance, otherwise the grilled chicken will disappear from the plate before you even serve the side dish.

Then divide the carcass into portions, salt, pepper and roll in a large amount of barbecue spices. Pour milk and yogurt into a deep and wide container, mix well and dip the chicken pieces into it. It is in this sauce that it needs to sit until the morning, properly marinating.
Preheat the oven to 150°C, place a tray under the grill grate to catch the fat. Be sure to do this, because washing off the consequences will take a long time and painstakingly. Place the chicken directly on the grill and fry until it forms a nice golden brown crust.

Ingredients:
- Chicken – 1 piece (1.5 kg)
- Honey - 2 tablespoons
- Adjika – 2 tablespoons
- Paprika - 1 teaspoon
- Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
- Salt, ground black pepper - to taste
Preparation:
1. Rub a clean and dried carcass with salt inside and out. Leave it for 15-30 minutes so that it is properly saturated with it.
2. Place honey and adjika in a bowl (mine is not very spicy). Also add ground black pepper and paprika. Mix thoroughly and add vegetable oil. Stir again and the marinade is ready.
3. Cover a baking dish with parchment paper and place the carcass there. Pour thoroughly and spread the sauce on both sides and inside. Cover the top with foil and place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
4. When the chicken is properly marinated, place the pan directly with foil in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Bake for approximately 40-50 minutes. Then remove the foil, pour the juice over the bird and put it back in the oven.
5. Bake for at least another 30 minutes, basting with juice every 10 minutes. You want to eat this chicken right away. And although our marinade is simple and uncomplicated, it turns out very tender, aromatic, juicy and tasty.
Subtleties of cooking. What meat to choose and how much to cook
- Use only fresh or chilled meat. It turns out more tender and juicy than frozen chicken.
- If a grilled chicken recipe includes a marinade, use refined sunflower oil as its base. It has the most neutral taste, which will not overpower the taste of the main product.
- If you still bought a frozen carcass, do not defrost it in the microwave or in the room. In the first case, the meat will begin to cook already during defrosting, and in the second, it will become tough and dry. The ideal option is to defrost in the refrigerator, on the “warmest” shelf, that is, away from the freezer.
- Contrary to popular belief, it is advisable to cook a whole chicken in the oven on a spit from a factory carcass, and not from a homemade one. The latter is good for stewing, but can be too tough on the grill. If you still have homemade chicken on hand, soak it in a saline solution: add half a glass of salt to 2 liters of water, let sit for 2-5 hours, dry and only then cook. This will make it perfectly soft.
- You can check the readiness of the meat using a culinary thermometer: the internal temperature should be 85 degrees. Or you can use a regular toothpick, but you should pierce the thigh, not the breast, since the latter takes longer to cook. Flowing clear juice will indicate that the meat is ready.
- Remove the carcass from the oven immediately after cooking and serve immediately. If you leave it longer, the meat will dry out and the crispy skin will go limp while waiting for the table.
Culinary secrets
- To ensure juicy chicken meat, buy a fresh, chilled carcass;
- To prepare the marinade, it is better to use refined vegetable oil or olive oil. Unrefined will interrupt the taste of the dish;
- If you are using a frozen chicken carcass, you should defrost it in the refrigerator. Do not defrost the carcass in boiling water or in the microwave, this will not affect the taste of the dish for the better;
- Choose factory-processed chicken for grilling; poultry may be too tough;
- To keep the meat soft, it needs to be filled with saline solution and left for 3 hours. To prepare it, add a tablespoon of salt to 2 liters of water;
- To prevent the legs and wings of the bird from falling apart when baking on a spit, it is better to tie them with thread. The wings can also be inserted into the chicken skin by making small cuts in it.
And yet, grilled chicken must be eaten as soon as it is baked, otherwise the skin will become limp and the taste will not be the same.

Grilled chicken in the oven: how to cook aromatic chicken on a spit - recipes with photos

Homemade grilled chicken in the oven can be not only no less tasty, but also healthy if cooked correctly.
What are the benefits of grilled poultry?
Poultry meat is very nutritious. But if turkey or duck is an expensive pleasure, then chicken is a dietary and cheap product. If you make the latter in the “format” grill from high-quality and fresh meat, then such food will be less high-calorie than boiled or baked.
Here are some numbers for comparison. 100 g of grilled chicken contains only 98 kcal, while boiled chicken contains 140 kcal. There is no need to talk about fried meat: its calorie content is 200 kcal.
Subtleties of cooking

- For the base of the marinade, it is advisable to use refined vegetable oil so that it does not interrupt the taste of the dish.
- Frozen meat is best defrosted on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, rather than in the microwave or in boiling water.
- For grilling, it is recommended to select factory-produced rather than domestic poultry, as the latter may be too tough. If you want to soften the meat, soak it in a saline solution for 2 hours. To prepare it, mix 2 liters of water and 0.5 tbsp. salt.

Description
Crispy, rosy, with an alluring aroma and delicately juicy taste! This is what attracts many when they see grilled chicken. Friends, do you like grilled chicken?
Here’s the most interesting thing: you remember about grilled chicken only when you leave a large supermarket, hypermarket or walk down the street past small boutiques with the inscription GRILLED CHICKENS. But more often than not, you get caught up in the aromas of grilled chicken and end up buying it only on an empty stomach. Has this ever happened to you?
If you love grilled chicken, don’t rush to buy it in the store, plan on making your own juicy, golden brown chicken. Moreover, it will save your budget.
Homemade poultry marinade with mayonnaise
In home cooking, most housewives most often use a marinade for grilled chicken prepared on the basis of mayonnaise. It's not at all difficult to do. Yes, and the products needed for work are the simplest. For one chicken carcass you will need:
- 4 cloves of garlic;
- 75 g of any mayonnaise;
- 40 g table mustard;
- salt;
- ground pepper.
To prepare this marinade at home, you need:
- In a clean bowl, mix mayonnaise with table mustard.
- Add garlic squeezed through a press, add salt and mix.
- Add some ground pepper. Mix everything again.
- Coat the chicken carcass with marinade and leave it in the refrigerator for a day.
The next day, all that remains is to bake the chicken in the oven, skewering it, putting it on a bottle or placing it on a wire rack. It would seem that everything is fine. But many experts advise not to use mayonnaise for pickling. They claim that this product completely overpowers the individual aromas of each ingredient in the fragrance blend. In addition, mayonnaise contains acetic acid, which during baking gives poultry meat a slight bitterness, making its fibers more rigid. But the final choice still remains with the hostess herself.
Whole chicken stuffed with rice
In addition to potatoes, buckwheat and rice go well with dietary meat. Can you imagine how delicious the rice filling will be if it is cooked inside the chicken? After all, it will be soaked in the most delicate meat juice and will become an excellent side dish.

6. Add boiled rice to the sausage-vegetable mixture, add salt and, stirring constantly, simmer the resulting filling for another 4 minutes.
7. Stuff the chicken with rice filling and close the hole with a whole lemon. If possible, pull the edges of the abdomen and pin them with toothpicks.
8. Rub the bird with paprika and place in a baking dish. Pour in the wine and sprinkle with the other half of the thyme.
9. Cover the dish with foil and place in an oven heated to 220 degrees to bake for 70 minutes.
10. Remove the foil “lid” from the mold and thoroughly pour the wine-meat sauce over the carcass so that not only the back and thighs of the chicken are soaked with it. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for another half hour.
11. Divide the prepared yeast dough into 2 pieces and roll them into round cakes.
12. Take 2 heat-resistant deep plates, turn them upside down and coat them with sunflower oil, use them for flatbreads as a basis for baking.
13. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, then remove and, after cooling, carefully remove from the plates.
14. When the chicken is completely cooked, remove the toothpicks and lemon from it, and then carefully arrange the rice filling into the baked edible dough “plates”.
