How a Jar Lets You Roast Chicken in 15 Minutes

Pat the prepared chicken dry with a clean cloth, then season it with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to its highest setting. Fill a one-liter jar with water and add a bay leaf and some whole peppercorns. Set the jar on a baking sheet, place the chicken on top of the jar, and put the sheet in the oven. Then lower the heat.

In just fifteen minutes, the chicken is ready. The meat is incredibly juicy, the skin beautifully browned, and the flavor is nothing like fried or stewed chicken cooked in a cast-iron pot.
