Chicken of tobacco - Georgian recipe
Ingredients:
For chicken:
- whole chicken carcass;
- vegetable oil - 45 ml;
- salt and red pepper.
For sauce:
- garlic cloves - 8-10 pcs .;
- water - 480 ml;
- Dried coriander - 3 g;
- salt and red pepper.
Preparation
The washed and dried carcass of the chicken is cut in half straight across the breast. We open the chicken in the manner of the "butterfly" and flatten it well with the palm of your hand. In the professional kitchen the bird was cooked under a special press, but since in the usual kitchen such a device probably will not be found, after you season and oil the chicken with oil, it will need to be placed in a frying pan with the skin up, covered with a dish or lid, and to place any cargo on top. The same is repeated from the skin. How much to grill tobacco chicken depends on its size, usually 20-25 minutes is quite enough. When the meat is cooked completely, it can be removed from the frying pan and put on a plate to rest, and the remaining fat in the frying pan is used to make garlic sauce.
For the sauce in the stupa, mash the garlic with coriander, salt and pepper, put the pasta in a frying pan with chicken fat, fry for 30 seconds and fill it with water or chicken broth. Cook the sauce for 3-4 minutes and serve with chicken.
