Chicken on glass is an ingenious method for achieving tender, flavorful meat with a perfectly crispy crust. This quick and simple recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. I will guide you step by step through each stage, providing you with some useful tips to achieve a perfect result.

Necessary ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (approximately 1 kg)
- 3-4 cups of cold water
- Salt (a generous amount to penetrate the meat well)
- Delikat seasoning (for an extra flavor boost)
- Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- Sweet paprika (for a touch of color and flavor)

Step 1: Preparing the chicken
Start by washing the chicken well under cold running water. Make sure to remove any leftover feathers or internal organs if necessary. Once the chicken is clean, dry it with a kitchen towel to remove excess water.

Step 2: Preparing the spice mix
In a bowl, combine a generous amount of salt (about 2-3 tablespoons), Delikat seasoning, a little freshly ground pepper, and sweet paprika (one tablespoon). This combination will add flavor and help tenderize the meat. Mix the ingredients well.

Step 3: Seasoning the chicken
Using your hands or a kitchen brush, massage the spice mixture over the entire surface of the chicken, ensuring that it penetrates under the skin as well. This is key to achieving a flavorful and tasty chicken. If you wish, you can also add some herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.

Step 4: Preparing the glass
Choose a heat-resistant glass bottle, preferably with a wide mouth, so you can easily place the chicken inside. Pour 3-4 cups of cold water into the bottle. The water will help create steam, which will keep the chicken tender and juicy during baking.

Step 5: Baking the chicken
Place the chicken on the glass, making sure to position it well so that it doesn't tip over. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the chicken on the glass in the oven. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the meat is well-cooked and the skin becomes golden and crispy. It is important to check the internal temperature of the chicken, which should be 75 degrees Celsius at the thickest part of the meat.

Step 6: Serving
Once the chicken is ready, carefully remove it from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it, to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve the chicken on glass alongside sides like roasted potatoes or a fresh salad. Don't forget to drizzle with a little lemon juice for a refreshing taste.

Possible variations:
- Try adding a few slices of lemon or orange inside the chicken for a citrus flavor.
- You can experiment with different spices, such as garlic powder or herbs de Provence, to customize the recipe to your taste.

This chicken on glass recipe is not only easy to make but also an excellent way to impress your guests. With a bit of patience and creativity, you will achieve a juicy and flavorful chicken, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your meal!
