8. Generously sodium chicken soft butter like suntan lotion lubricates, and on top Pour some zest, thyme, salt and pepper.

9. Lay the chicken on a bed of potatoes. Notice that the part of the chicken, which is within the form, browned less (because the bumpers prevent heat warming the chicken). So if you want a very zazharistuyu chicken, choose the shape with low sides. Or pan.

10. Send your chicken in the oven at 205 degrees, wait a little longer than an hour.

11. Check the readiness simple - chicken thrust it with a knife or fork, if the juice comes out clear - it's ready. When in doubt, it is better to overexpose a little chicken, dry it will not be because the outer crust is not releasing moisture.

12. A little secret. To crust was more expressive and crisp, it is possible to pour the juice that flows down to the potatoes (chicken juice burns the skin and get the same desired effect). But I did otherwise. He took a hard brush, gaining her soft butter and smeared the chicken in the oven. He did this three times, every 20-25 minutes.

13. What's good chicken - cook like one dish, but everyone gets a different - someone loves a juicy drumstick and thigh, someone crazy wings (which are just too loud crackle golden crust), and others - are happy to breast and its white meat.
