Baked chicken in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. First, remove the backbone, then place the chicken in a baking dish, arranging the wings and legs properly. You'll end up with a perfect chicken with a crispy crust. You can prepare duck, chicken, or goose in the same way. Use any spices to taste. Serve the meat immediately after cooking. The finished dish can now be served.
