Step-by-step instructions for baking dishes in a slow cooker

1. Initial steps include preparing the food. Cut the chicken into portions, wash them and dry them a little. We also wash and peel the potatoes well. Don’t forget to prepare a universal device - a sleeve, as well as, of course, salt and spices. For example, black pepper, basil.
2. We cut the potato tubers into four parts, but if they are large, you can cut them into five or more parts.
3. Sprinkle the prepared ingredients, chopped potatoes and chicken pieces with spices and salt. To distribute them evenly, everything is mixed. Leave in a deep bowl, covered with a lid, for about 15 minutes.
4. We transfer the entire resulting product mass into a bag, fasten it after displacing the air from there and tie it. Thus, during the baking process, the bag practically does not swell and does not close the steam outlet valve. The tail formed at the knot of the package must be cut off.
5. The sleeve is placed in the multicooker, and the “Baking” program is started for one hour.
6. During cooking, the package must be turned over; it is better to do this 40 minutes from the start of the program. After a sound signal reminds you that the dish is ready, you can take it out.
7. If the kitchen is equipped with an air fryer, then the cooking process can be continued, frying until golden brown and crispy. To do this, we take the bowl out of the device, while the sleeve with the chicken and potatoes remains inside, it is only cut and the edges are turned away.The air grill is turned on, setting the temperature to 175 degrees and the time to 20 or 25 minutes, and the bowl is placed on it. By setting a higher temperature, the cooking time will decrease.
8. After the set period of time has passed, the chicken is ready to be served.

Many people prefer to cook only chicken in the sleeve, without potatoes. The ideal addition to it in this case would be apples. The recipe is simple, the dish can also be served as a treat for guests on a holiday.

Ingredients:

• chicken carcass;
• apples in the amount of 4 pieces;
• two onions;
• spices;
• black pepper;
• salt.

The onion is cut into half rings; garlic can be added if desired. The core is removed from the apples and they are cut into pieces. The chicken is washed, dried and sprinkled both inside and outside with spices, salt and pepper.

The chicken insides are stuffed with apples and onions, and the incision is sewn up. And several cuts are made on its skin, into which garlic is inserted.

After all these culinary manipulations, the carcass is placed in a bag and then in a multicooker bowl. Prepared in a mode identical to cooking with potatoes.
