If you decide to cook a whole New Year's chicken, it is better to opt for the one sold under the “bio” label. It is meatier, and there is no need to talk about better taste. In most cases, there is no need to marinate it - the meat is already tender. In cases where the family budget is limited or the carcass is unlucky, cooking saves the situation. Plain and simple, it will not only soften the meat, but also rid it of foreign flavors. By the way, chicken baked after boiling tastes little different from uncooked chicken. Especially if baked in sauce or gravy.
The five most commonly used ingredients in New Year's chicken recipes are:
The easiest way of baking, in which we get a beautiful golden crust, is this. The carcass is coated with salt and pepper and placed on a deep baking sheet.

As well as sour cream or mayonnaise filling.

It is better to place the stuffed chicken breast side up on a baking sheet - it will look more festive.
