Here's how to cook chicken for the New Year so that guests ask for the recipe! Chicken dishes for the New Year Prepare chicken for the New Year.

You always want to prepare something special for the holiday table. Chicken in this regard is optimal in terms of price-quality ratio. Even an ordinary chicken baked in the oven is already a holiday, but what if you try a little and add some zest? For example, fill it with mushrooms or dried fruits or prepare a special sauce, marinate it in wine or an Asian-style spicy mixture, or bread it in rye breadcrumbs. What about chicken roll? You can wrap almost anything in it - from minced meat to dried fruits and nuts. Even banal legs can claim to be a festive dish: place a slice of lemon (or orange) or tomato on each leg, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake until done. 10 minutes before the end of cooking, sprinkle the legs with a thick layer of grated hard cheese and bake until golden brown.

To prepare a chicken dish for the New Year, it is best to buy chilled poultry. If you bake the whole chicken, soak it overnight in brine - the chicken will be evenly salted. If you want a particularly crispy crust, remove the chicken from the brine, pat it dry and place it in a cool, ventilated place (not the refrigerator!) for 6-8 hours.

Chicken legs, thighs and drumsticks are best suited for treating a large company. A whole chicken is, of course, great, but, unfortunately, it only has two legs, and everyone loves legs! Therefore, it is more advisable to cook them - in sauce or crispy breading, wrapped in dough or cabbage leaves, or even simply fried or baked in the oven with spices.

1 tbsp. liquid honey,
1 tbsp. lemon juice,

¼ cup hot sauce,
1/3 cup flour,

Chicken thighs with apples in milk sauce

Ingredients:
6-7 chicken thighs,
2-3 apples,
100-150 g hard cheese,
250-300 ml milk,
mayonnaise, salt, pepper - to taste.

Preparation:
Peel the apples and cut into thin slices. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning. Salt the thighs, place them in a mold, lift the skin and spread mayonnaise underneath. Place the apple slices in a thin layer under the skin, smooth and fill with milk so that the thighs protrude 1/3 from under the milk. Salt, grease with mayonnaise and cover the pan with foil. Place in a hot oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil, sprinkle the dish with grated cheese and put it back in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

Ingredients:
4 chicken legs,
4 cloves of garlic,
½ tsp. salt,
1 tsp hot red pepper,
¼ tsp. ground cumin,
2 tbsp. olive oil,
½ cup dry wine,
1 tsp dried oregano.

Preparation:
Mix pressed garlic, oregano, salt, red pepper, cumin, a little ground black pepper and olive oil with a fork until smooth. Dry the chicken legs, trim off excess fat and place in a baking dish. Brush each leg with garlic paste, pour wine over it and place in an oven preheated to 200°C. Bake for 40-50 minutes.

Ingredients:
1 chicken,
½ cup soy sauce,
¼ cup brown sugar,
3 tbsp. grated fresh ginger,
5 cloves of garlic,
2 tsp sesame oil,
1 tsp ground black pepper.

Preparation:
Pass the garlic through a press, combine with the rest of the marinade ingredients and whisk until smooth. Cut the chicken into pieces, pour in the marinade, cover with a lid and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours, turning it occasionally. After this, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220-250°C. Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet, skin side up, and bake for 40-45 minutes until the chicken is golden brown.

Chicken legs in dough. Take a package of ready-made puff pastry and roll it out into a layer 0.5 cm thick. Cut the dough into strips. Chicken drumsticks, pre-marinated in a marinade or sauce to taste, or simply sprinkled with salt and pepper, fry in vegetable oil until golden brown and place on paper towels to absorb excess fat. Wrap the drumsticks with strips of dough, overlapping them, starting from the bone. Secure the dough by brushing the end of the strip with egg white and pinching it to prevent the dough from unfolding during baking. Place the drumsticks in the dough on a baking sheet and place in a hot oven. Bake until golden brown.

To prepare this festive dish, you will need ready-made puff pastry, a cheese-braid for tying bags and any filling that suits the taste of the chicken. Fry chicken drumsticks in vegetable oil until golden brown. Prepare the filling: mashed potatoes or boiled rice, fried mushrooms, vegetables or dried fruits, lemon or orange slices, nuts - combine the filling to your liking. Roll out the dough into a layer 0.5 - 0.7 cm thick and cut it into squares. Place the filling in the middle of each square, place the drumstick vertically and lift the edges of the dough towards the bone. Tie a bag with a strip of braided cheese, brush it with yolk and place it on a greased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown. You can prepare such bags with a surprise: on pieces of paper, write “fortune predictions” for the coming year (only happy ones, of course!) and wrap them in thick cling film. Place a prediction in each bag. Not only children, but also adults will be delighted with such surprises.

Chicken drumsticks in cabbage leaves. You can prepare this dish like regular cabbage rolls, stewing them in sauce, or bake them in the oven - the choice is yours. Take a head of Chinese cabbage (it is more tender) and disassemble it into leaves. Wrap the drumsticks, fried until golden brown, in cabbage leaves and tie with thick threads or strips of braided cheese. Place a wire rack in a thick-bottomed pan or line the bottom with rough parts of cabbage leaves (this is necessary to prevent the cabbage rolls from burning). Place the prepared drumsticks in a saucepan and pour in tomato-sour cream sauce (or just sour cream, or tomato juice - to taste). Add bay leaf and peppercorns and put on fire. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Along with the drumsticks, you can wrap some rice or pitted prunes in cabbage leaves. If stewing doesn’t appeal to you, bake the drumsticks in cabbage leaves on a baking sheet, just first fry the wrapped drumsticks in vegetable oil until golden brown. Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet, cover with foil and bake in a hot oven for 30 minutes until cooked through.

Every creative housewife is looking for her only correct answer to this question. We can recommend one thing - it is better to conduct experiments with chicken in advance, otherwise what to serve to guests if the dish according to the new recipe does not turn out to be very successful? After all, chicken for the New Year is most often the highlight of the holiday menu, even if you prefer recipes for inexpensive dishes.

Rules for "good chicken"

To ensure a successful chicken dish in any case, adhere to the mandatory rules for selecting and preparing a bird carcass. These tips should not be neglected even by experienced cooks who are confident that they know everything about chicken.

Rule #1. It is advisable to buy a chilled carcass rather than a frozen one, thus ensuring tender meat after cooking with a richer flavor bouquet.

Rule #2. The tastiest birds are those weighing up to 1.5 kg and under one year of age. Therefore, do not chase after big carcasses. If you plan to cook for many guests, buy 2-3 chickens, but maintain the weight standard.

Rule #3. When choosing a “chicken”, pay attention to its appearance - a high-quality bird does not have any bones protruding from under the skin, no “bruises” or smudges. The skin color is even, pleasantly yellowish.

Rule #4. Chicken cooked in ceramic or cast iron cookware is very tasty. The material from which the mold is made heats up gradually, protecting the meat from burning.

Rule No. 5. Experienced chefs know how to allocate time for preparing a carcass - 40 minutes per kilogram of meat. Readiness is determined using an ordinary toothpick - pierce it, see what quality of juice comes out of the hole, if it is transparent, then the dish is ready.

Rule #6. We do not recommend leaving the meat in the switched-off oven “to finish cooking” - the carcass will quickly become dry and absorb the smell of fat.

Rule #7. To achieve a golden crispy crust, 10-15 minutes before cooking, brush the chicken with a layer of honey or sour cream. In this case, it is better to avoid mayonnaise, as it will give the dish an unpleasant vinegary taste.

Chicken recipes for the New Year

Chicken baked with Brussels sprouts. Dietary meat and vegetables are the very combination that all nutritionists consider the most useful and which the body so lacks during the long New Year holidays. And it’s also very tasty and elegant.

Ingredients:

• chicken carcass;
• 200-300 g (as much as will fit in the chicken) Brussels sprouts;
• 100 g butter;
• bacon (2-3 pieces);
• 1 small onion;
• 2 cloves of garlic;
• salt and spices, as always - to taste.

First, make the filling - fry the onion in oil with chopped bacon and garlic, after the onion is golden, add cabbage and spices. Cook for 10 minutes. Cool the resulting minced meat and grind it in a blender.

Stuff the prepared carcass (washed, dried and rubbed with salt and pepper) with cabbage and bake until done.

Chicken & potatoes. It would seem that what could be more ordinary than chicken baked with potatoes? But what could be tastier and more festive than it?

If you include as many aromatic herbs and spices in the recipe as possible, the dish will turn out even more unusual. This has a direct path to the New Year's table.

Ingredients:

• poultry carcass (1.5-1.6 kg);
• potatoes – 1 kg;
• garlic - a few cloves;
• thyme – fresh (2-3 sprigs) and dried (1 tsp);
• salt and spices;
• olive oil, hot water (approximately 300 ml).

Prepare the chicken for baking as usual, but this time add thyme sprigs and chopped garlic inside the carcass. Place the bird breast side down on a large baking sheet. Peeled potatoes, preferably the tubers should be approximately the same size, cut into oblong slices and place around the chicken. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil. Then sprinkle the contents of the baking tray with half the dried thyme and pour hot water into the bottom.

After half an hour of baking (but in general - focus not on time, but on the color and condition of the chicken), turn the bird over, salt, pepper and “thyme” its other side, and bake until cooked.

"Orange" chicken. This will be a small but very effective culinary bomb on the holiday table. Firstly, because chicken is always delicious, and secondly, because oranges are always New Year's Eve. For a greater New Year's accent, you can also take tangerines, but they are somewhat inconvenient to cut for this dish.

Ingredients:

• gutted chicken weighing 1-1.5 kg;
• oranges – 2 pcs.;
• garlic – 2 cloves;
• pepper mixture - 2 tsp;
• soy sauce -2 tsp;
• honey - the same amount;
• olive oil (or refined sunflower).

Rub the inside of the washed and dry carcass with salt and crushed garlic; it’s also a good idea to “introduce” the garlic slices under the skin of the “bird.” Pour boiling water over the oranges and cut into thin disks, three of which are also placed under the skin, the rest - inside the carcass.

Combine honey, soy sauce and vegetable oil and coat the chicken on all sides with the resulting mixture. Secure the hole with toothpicks so that the oranges do not fall out of the chicken during baking, and after an hour and a half you can enjoy the finished dish.

Foil will serve as an excellent protection against burning the tips of the legs and wings.

Chicken stewed with tomatoes and olives. This dish has a great taste of Greece. For an exotic “monkey” New Year - just what you need.

Ingredients:

• chicken – 1 kg (any parts of the bird);
• carrots and onions – 1 pc.;
• tomatoes – 3 pcs. (fresh or from a jar, marinated in its own juice);
• pitted olives - about 5 cans;
• tomato paste – 3 tsp;
• broth and dry wine - 100 ml each;
• basil;
• salt.

First of all, fry the chicken, put it in a saucepan, pour in wine and broth, and boil for five minutes. Then add onions, carrots, tomatoes, pasta and olives. Simmer for 60 minutes, and when the dish is almost ready, sprinkle with basil or a mixture of herbs that you prefer.

Usually meat cooked with olives is not salted, but if you find it a little bland, add a pinch of salt.
