Whole chicken in the oven in a bag
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Instead of mayonnaise, you can use sour cream, and you can skip the vegetable oil in the pouch altogether, making the chicken diet-friendly and low-calorie. The recipe requires only 10–15 minutes of active preparation. Serve hot.

Step 3
Prepare the sauce. Peel and wash the garlic, then grate it on a fine grater or press it through a garlic press. Add mustard and garlic to the mayonnaise, then season the sauce with salt to taste.

Step 4
Rub the chicken thoroughly with the sauce both inside and out, then place it in the refrigerator to marinate. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally for 5-6 hours or overnight.

After the time has elapsed, tie the legs and wings with cooking twine. I use silicone one.

Transfer the chicken to an oven bag. Pour vegetable oil into the bag. Tie the bag on both ends and place it into a baking dish or on a baking tray.

Step 7
When tying the bag, don't seal it tightly. Leave gaps on both sides to allow air inside. Bake for 70–90 minutes at 180°C, depending on the chicken's weight. I baked a 1.7 kg chicken for 80 minutes, then 10 minutes under the top grill. If you want a crispy crust, carefully tear open the bag 10 minutes before it's done and switch to the top grill setting at 200°C.
