Although chakhokhbili is a recipe for sunny Georgian cuisine, it is an excellent dish for a Russian winter dinner table. And tasty, and satisfying, and not barbecue :)

How to cook Chahokhbili

Step 1

Basis: Rinse the chicken carcass (or individual parts: thighs, breast), dry with a paper towel. Cut into fairly large portions. Leave.
