Description

Step 1
Prepare the chicken. If it's frozen, you need to thaw it first, and then proceed with baking. I wash the chicken inside and out.

Step 2
Then the chicken needs to be dried a bit. Let it lie and dry in the refrigerator. After that, take it out and rub it with various spices, herbs, and salt. Be sure to add grated garlic. Without it, the chicken won't smell as desirable.

Step 3
I season the chicken with garlic spices both inside and outside. I generously use salt, pepper, and garlic, paying special attention to the inner part. The chicken might have an unpleasant odor inside, especially if it's undercooked. I put plenty of garlic inside. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for an hour.

Step 4
After an hour, I turn on the oven. I take out the chicken and place it on a greased baking sheet. I wrap the chicken legs with parchment paper that has been greased with oil. This way they won't dry out, as I want to cook the chicken with a crispy crust. I put it in the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

Step 5
I peel the carrots and onions and slice them into rings. After 20 minutes, I take out the chicken and baste it with the juice accumulated on the tray. If there's not enough juice, I add a little water. I place the carrots and onions into the chicken and return it to the oven. I finish cooking over low heat until a nice crust forms.
