Püf Noktaları
For an even more flavorful chicken, allow it to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. This will help the flavors fully penetrate the meat. Additionally, you can add vegetables like carrots and potatoes to the roasting pan to create a complete meal. Adjust the cooking time if you add more ingredients. Make sure to let the chicken rest before carving to keep the juices intact for a moist and delicious result.
