Chicken in a jar in its own juice
This is the simplest option and does not use any additional ingredients other than salt and pepper. It turns out meat in its own juice in its pure form.
So, as I already said, for preparation you will need:
- Whole chicken - 1 piece (about 2 kg)
- Salt, pepper - to taste
- 3 liter jar – 1 piece
Preparation:
1. Cut the fresh or completely thawed carcass into pieces. First, we cut it along the sternum, and then cut it into portioned pieces that will fit into the neck of the jar without any problems.
The secret of juiciness is in the bones. Therefore, you should not separate the meat from the bones and try to put only that in the jar. The cutting is rough: wings, thighs, drumsticks and several pieces of breast.
2. Salt and pepper the dressed poultry and mix thoroughly, lightly rubbing in the spices.
3. Take a clean three-liter jar without stickers, cracks or chips. Place the cut pieces into it, cover with a tin lid and place on a baking sheet. The rubber rim from the lid must be removed.
Place the baking sheet in a cold oven, set the temperature to 200 degrees and close the oven door.
4. After 1.5 hours, the dish is ready. Now you need to open the door, wait until the jar cools down for 10-15 minutes and only then take it out.
Bon appetit!
It is very important to place the jar in a cold oven and then let it cool with the door open. Otherwise, the jar may burst due to sudden temperature changes.

If calories are not very important to you, then the meat can be made even more flavorful by adding butter during the cooking process. Please note that this recipe uses not 1 large jar, but 3 smaller 750 ml jars.
Ingredients:
- Chicken – 2 kg
- Onion - 3 pcs.
- Salt - 1/2 tsp
- ground black pepper - on the tip of a teaspoon

- Dried garlic - 1/2 tsp.
- Butter - 90 g

Preparation:
1. Cut the chicken into pieces, similar to the first recipe. Wash and dry the pieces with a paper towel. Then put it on a plate and add salt and spices.
2. Add the onion, cut into half rings, to the plate and mix everything together, lightly squeezing the onion and rubbing the spices into the meat.
3. Place the meat and onions tightly enough into clean, dry jars and place an equal piece of butter on top.

How to bake chicken in the oven with potatoes
Here’s an option for a complete meal, in which you don’t need to prepare a separate side dish. Everything in one jar. Very comfortably. And delicious of course.
Ingredients:
- Chicken – 1.5 kg
- Potatoes - 5 pcs.
- Garlic - 4 cloves
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 0.5 tsp chicken seasoning
Preparation:
1. We cut and wash the chicken, wash the potatoes and cut them into large pieces (if the tubers are small, then you don’t have to cut them). Mix salt, pepper and seasoning in one outlet. Cut the garlic into thin slices.
The potatoes should be cut coarsely so that they do not boil in the jar while the meat is ready.
2. We will put the ingredients in a jar in layers: first large pieces of meat (drumsticks, thighs), then a little garlic and spices. And so on until the meat runs out. Usually this is three layers.
3. The final layer is potatoes, which need to be salted and peppered separately before putting them in a jar. When all the ingredients are inside, cover the neck with foil and place the jar in a cold oven.
4. Set the temperature to 200 degrees and bake the chicken for 1.5 hours. It doesn’t take longer, remember that the potatoes are cooked earlier and may begin to boil.
Wait for the jar to cool for 10 minutes with the oven door open and you're done. Bon appetit!
The most important points for selecting and processing “ware”.
Paragraph 1.
Carefully inspect the glass object - there should be no chips, cracks, damage, or labels on it.
Point 2.
You cannot put the jar in an already preheated oven - due to a sharp temperature change, it will crack and split. You also cannot remove the container immediately after cooking. You must first cool the oven.
The most suitable containers are considered to be 2 and 3 liter containers.
Point 3.
There is no need to put the food in the pan - chicken meat is quite juicy, so some of the juice may leak out of the container, stain the baking sheet, and the dish will not have enough moisture.
Point 4.
The correct temperature is a maximum of 180 degrees. If you set a higher value, you risk getting broken containers and spoiled products.
Point 5.
Stewed chicken in a jar produces a lot of its own juices, so you don't have to add water or oil.
Step-by-step photo recipe with vegetables
There is also a separate recipe for vegetable lovers. In this case, vegetables are obtained in the form of a stew. So you can use not only the tomatoes and bell peppers presented, but also others that are appropriate for the stew: zucchini, eggplant, the same potatoes, etc.
Ingredients:
- Chicken (1.5-2 kg)
- Garlic
- Salt, peppercorns
- Bay leaf - 4 pcs
- 1 large onion
- 1 tomato
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 three-liter jar
Preparation:
1. Cut the chicken into pieces, wash and dry with a paper towel. Wash the vegetables, peel them if necessary and cut them into convenient shapes: strips, cubes, rings - as you like.
2. Place the ingredients in a jar in 4 layers: first comes half of the cooked chicken, which needs to be salted, throw in a couple of bay leaves and a few peppercorns; then there is a layer of half the cooked vegetables, then again meat with spices and again vegetables.
3. Lightly compact the contents of the jar with your hand or improvised means. It is better for men not to put their hands in the jar. It's very easy to get stuck.
Then cover the neck loosely with foil and place the jar in a cold oven. We set it to 200 degrees and wait 1.5 hours.
Ready. Bon appetit!

Helpful information.
To bake chicken in a jar, you can reduce the amount of salt, since it is cooked in its own juice, the salt concentration remains almost unchanged, unlike cooking on a baking sheet.
To prepare chicken stew, you should not choose a container with a volume of more than 1 liter, since smaller jars are more convenient to put in the oven, store, and most importantly, use later. Agree, it’s not easy to immediately find a use for three liters of stew.
Iodized salt is not suitable for preparing stewed meat - it will reduce storage time.

Chicken with potatoes
The simplest, most satisfying and delicious cooking option is chicken in a jar with potatoes. To do this you will need:
- 1 kg chicken;
- potatoes, 4-5 pcs.;
- 1 onion;
- garlic;
- 1 medium carrot;
- salt, pepper and seasonings (rosemary, coriander, thyme, paprika, oregano, curry, turmeric, marjoram - to choose from).
Cooking process:
- The most important thing is to divide the chicken into pieces that will easily fit through the neck of the jar. The meat should be marinated in advance for 30 minutes: rub with lemon juice, spices and salt. It should be remembered that chicken in a jar requires much less salt than when baked, since its concentration does not change during cooking.
- Onions and carrots need to be cut into half rings (slices), finely chop the garlic, and peel the potatoes and divide into 4 parts (if the tubers are large, you can cut them into thin slices).
- We lay out the ingredients in layers: meat, garlic and onions on the bottom and top, and potatoes in the center so that they are better saturated with juice and absorb the aroma.
- Place the fattest parts of the chicken on top.
- Cover the three-liter jar with foil or an iron lid and place in a cold oven. Leave to simmer for an hour and a half at 180 degrees.
- Once the potatoes and chicken are golden brown, you can turn off the oven. Leave the jar for 30 minutes, then remove and place the contents on plates.
This dish is satisfying and not at all greasy. It can be served with sauerkraut or pickled green peas.
