To prepare one classic portion, you will need: Chicken up to 1 kg in weight, however, we recommend 700 grams, a couple of cloves of garlic; salt, black pepper; 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
A simple instruction will help you cook tobacco chicken.
1. Wash the chicken and cut into the breast along the keel. Then gently "unfold" in the plane.
2. Beat the carcass on both sides. You need to beat off so that the carcass becomes as flat as possible, and most of the bones are shattered. To do this, you need to hit the articular joints a couple of times. As a rule, it is not difficult to beat off a chicken, the bones are soft, there is a lot of cartilage. That is why this meat is used.
3. Peel the garlic and grate it. Add vegetable oil and cook into a homogeneous mass.
4. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Then rub it thoroughly with a mixture of garlic and oil.
5. Take a pan that fits the whole chicken and brush it with butter. Then place the chicken in it.
6. Need to fry under pressure. You can use a kettle or pot of water to do this. It is important that the press evenly distributes the pressure to the dish.
7. Fry 5-10 minutes on one side, then turn over and grill on the other. To cook tobacco chicken properly, you must not let it dry out while cooking. To do this, you can add a little water so that the uncooked meat inside the carcass reaches the steam.
8. After cooking, place the chicken on a large, warm plate. Chicken should be served with fresh vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers. Red dry wine is also perfect. Bon Appetit.
