Step by step instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190ºC
  • With the help of a needle, inject the chicken everywhere with cognac. There will be cognac left over.
  • Season with garlic salt, thyme, oregano and pepper, not forgetting the inside of the chicken.
  • Spread the surface of the chicken with lard that will add flavor and the necessary fat.
  • Drizzle with the rest of the brandy.
  • Bake for approximately 1 hour and a quarter.
  • After 40 minutes, add the dried fruits: prunes, dates and dried apricots (some can be inserted into the chicken)
  • Cover with aluminum foil so that neither the chicken nor the fruits burn.
  • After baking another 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and continue roasting another 15 to 20 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
  • If necessary, put the grill but, in that case, you have to remove the fruits so they do not burn.
  • Once out of the oven, remove the chicken and, over the fire, add a shot of white wine to deglaze the dish.
  • Pour the juices into a pan and reduce to bind the sauce.
  • Present the chicken on a platter with the fruits and the sauce in a sauce boat.
