5. The preparation needs to be transferred into a baking bag, first tying it on one side and placing the meat inside. Another way to make chicken jelly roll is to use a juice pouch, which can be placed in a tall pot and cooked on the stove.

6. Select an appropriate heat-resistant dish to place the roll on. Spread the meat evenly and tightly seal the second end of the oven bag. Use a needle or toothpick to make 3-4 small holes to allow steam to escape during cooking. Place the roll in the oven for at least 1 hour, and if necessary, leave for another 10–20 minutes.
