Neither adults nor children will be able to refuse an appetizing piece of chicken. So, let's move directly to the preparation of this dish. Necessary ingredients:
Cooking time - 70 minutes.It is considered approximate, because multicookers of different brands have different capacities. The part of the chicken you choose also plays a big role. So you can adjust the time yourself based on your observations and preferences. First, you need to wash the chicken thoroughly in running water, wipe it with a dry towel, remove the skin and cut off all the excess fat, since too much of it can affect the taste of the dish, and fat is also not very good for health. If the chicken is very large, then cut it into pieces. If desired, you can cook a whole chicken.

Selection of modes for cooking chicken
In order to cook chicken with sour cream in a multicookercooked perfectly, any parts of the bird will do (drumsticks, thighs, wings, breast). The entire cooking process consists of two stages. At the first stage, turn on the "baking" mode in the multicooker, which is used not only for baking bread and bakery products, but also for frying and baking products. The second mode is "milk porridge". At the first stage, pour a little sunflower oil into the multicooker and leave it for 7-8 minutes to heat up. Put the meat in. Cook it on one side, turn it over after 15-20 minutes and add the onion, previously peeled and cut into half rings. Cook our bird for 15-20 minutes on the other side with the lid closed. After that, the "baking" program can be turned off. Put sour cream, already mixed with garlic, into a saucepan (of course, for those who do not like garlic, you can leave it out), mix everything well and set the multicooker mode to "milk porridge". In this mode, all the excess water will go away and the chicken will slowly simmer in sour cream at a temperature of 100 ° C. 5 minutes before cooking, sprinkle the chicken with finely chopped dill and parsley. If desired, you can also add sour cream. The chicken will wonderfully absorb all the sour cream sauce and will be very soft and tender. Multicooker mode "warm up".

And in this, of course, a multicooker will come to the rescue, since it is equipped with such a convenient mode as "warm up", which will help to always keep any dish warm.
