Chicken tobacco in a pan under pressure in Georgian style
Content

Chicken tobacco is a real treat. The crust on the surface is fried until crisp and a beautiful blush, while the meat remains incredibly juicy and aromatic due to spices and a special frying method. What is special? In the weight that squeezes the chicken right in the pan while frying. For this, Georgians use a special frying pan with a screw lid. In our conditions, you can replace this special device with an ordinary jar filled with water and placed on top of the chicken.

Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 10
We wash the chicken, cut off excess skin and fat, if any. Dry with a towel and cut along the sternum without touching the back.
step 2 out of 10
We form a layer from the carcass, place it with the skin up and beat it off with a kitchen hammer. You can cover the chicken with cling film to prevent splatter from flying around. We apply force mainly not to fillets, but to bones and joints: we break them so that the carcass becomes flat.
step 3 out of 10
Peel the garlic and cut into thin slices. Mix salt, coriander and black pepper.
step 4 out of 10
On the skin with a thin knife we ​​make incisions-pockets throughout the carcass.
step 5 out of 10
Put pieces of garlic into the incisions.
step 6 out of 10
Then sprinkle the carcass with a mixture of salt, black pepper and coriander. Rub the spices into the surface of the skin and meat with our hands.
step 7 out of 10
We put the bird in a wide container, tighten it with cling film so that the spices do not spread an intense aroma, and put it in the refrigerator. The bird should be marinated for at least two to three hours. Ideally, leave the chicken overnight at this point.
step 8 out of 10
After marinating, we proceed to frying. Heat odorless vegetable oil in a frying pan. We spread the carcass with its back down. We cover the chicken with a lid or a flat plate of a smaller diameter, and set the weight on top. For example, a jar of water or a heavy kettle. Fry at medium-high temperature for ten to fifteen minutes.
step 9 out of 10
Then we turn the chicken over to the other side, we also set the load on top and continue to fry for another fifteen minutes. It may take more time to be fully cooked, much depends on the size of the chicken. You can turn the carcass over the required number of times and thus bring the meat to readiness, remembering to install the press after each turn.
step 10 out of 10
Remove the finished tobacco chicken from the pan and transfer to a plate, sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve hot. The best side dish is fresh vegetables and tomato sauce.

Bon Appetit!
