For: 6 People
Prep: 15 Min
Cook: 45 Min
Ingredients for Meal:
Whole Chicken 2   Kg.
Butter 2   Tbsp
Yogurt Bottom Water 1/2   Half Cup
Bay Leaf 3   Leaves
Powdered Red Pepper 1   Tsp (large)
Salt 1   Tsp
Black Pepper 1   Tsp
Potatoes 2   Qty
Dry Onion 2   Qty
Rosemary 1   Sprig
Fresh Thyme 1   Sprig
Ingredients for Marination:
Water 5   Liters
Rock Salt 2.5   Cup
Honey (Optional) 1   Tbsp
Lemon 1/2   Qty
Fresh Spices 1/2   Bunch

Steps:

  1. Fill a deep, lidded bowl with 5-6 liters of cold, ice water. 2 liters Add 1/3 cup of salt to the water and mix. Although the basic ingredients for brine marination are water and salt, you can add honey, lemon juice and zest, parsley, dill stems, rosemary, thyme, etc. to the brine to add flavor. You can add fresh spices.
  2. Mix the water you prepared and place all your chicken. Adjust the amount of water according to the size of the chicken. The entire surface of the chicken should be covered with water. The whole chicken should be placed in the refrigerator in this water and kept for at least 24 hours to 36 hours.
  3. At the end of the waiting time, remove the chicken and pat dry. On the other hand, peel the potatoes and onions and chop them roughly.
  4. Add yoghurt water, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of powdered red pepper to the butter that you have kept at room temperature and softened. Rub the chicken inside and out thoroughly with this mixture. Put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  5. When you are going to bake, take the chicken out of the fridge and stuff it with onion, bay leaves, black peppercorns, rosemary and thyme. Place them on their backs on the baking tray, cross their legs and tie them with cooking twine. Fold the wings to the bottom.
  6. Spread the remaining mixture on it, cover it with wet baking paper to prevent it from drying out, and bake it in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 40-45 minutes. When it is almost cooked, remove the paper, spread butter on it and bake it for another 5-10 minutes to brown it.
  7. If you wish, potatoes, onions, capias, carrots, etc. You can bake vegetables alongside the chicken. You can also stuff your chicken with rice and cook it together. Enjoy your meal!
