Description
It is believed that chickens were domesticated in Asia many decades ago. Today, chicken is cooked in kitchens around the world, and in our country, chicken dishes are considered very popular. Cooking it in tomato sauce is simple; this recipe describes everything step by step. Use sour cream or mayonnaise, spices, tomato paste, and garlic.

Step 1
1. I always use a home-raised chicken for this dish—it's juicier and tastier. It turns out especially delicious with garlic and sauce. So, cut the chicken into pieces.

2. Mix vegetable oil with garlic, salt, and spices. Stir well, then add sour cream and tomato paste. It's best to mince the garlic using a garlic press, so the sauce absorbs its juice.

3. You can also do it differently: rub the chicken pieces with garlic and oil, let them marinate for a while, and then add tomato paste and sour cream/mayonnaise.

4. I usually let the chicken carcasses marinate in foil, then pour the sauce over them, wrap everything in foil, and put it in a preheated oven at 200 degrees. The chicken bakes in tomato sauce in the oven for about 40 minutes.

5. When cooked in foil or a baking bag, the chicken turns out very juicy, absorbs the sauce well, and releases its own juices. This results in a beautifully cooked, appetizing dish. It can be served on a large platter, or even better, together with a side dish. For a festive table, you can prepare mashed potatoes and place the chicken with sauce on top.
