To prepare a delicious chicken meal, we will start by washing the chicken well under a stream of cold water. This step is essential to ensure we remove any impurities and that the meat will remain juicy. So, after cleaning it, we place the chicken in a large pot that can hold between 3 and 4 liters of water. We add a tablespoon of salt, which will help flavor the meat during boiling.
Once we have filled the pot with water and added the salt, we put the pot on medium to high heat. It is important to let the chicken reach boiling temperature gradually, so the meat remains tender. When the water starts to boil, we reduce the heat and let the chicken simmer slowly, covered, for about 40-60 minutes, depending on its size. During this time, we can prepare the vegetables that will accompany the chicken.
To obtain a rich and flavorful soup, we add vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onion to the pot with the chicken. These vegetables will bring a special flavor and enrich the soup. We cut the carrots into rounds, the celery into cubes, and the onion into quarters, then add them to the pot. After about 30 minutes of boiling, it's time to check if the chicken is cooked. We use a fork to check if the meat easily separates from the bone. If it does, then the chicken is ready, and we can carefully remove it onto a plate.
Once the chicken has cooled slightly, we can prepare it for the oven. We can brush it with olive oil, adding spices such as salt, pepper, paprika, or herbs. This marination will add an intense flavor to the meat. Then, we place the chicken in a baking tray and let it brown at a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius for 30-40 minutes.
Thus, we will obtain a tender chicken with a golden crust, perfect to be served alongside the vegetables boiled in the soup, which become a delicious and healthy side dish. Enjoy your meal!
