Description

The dish "Roast Chicken Tabaka" actually means "Roast Chicken Tapaka", which is derived from the Georgian word tapha, meaning "frying pan". Tapha is a flat Georgian frying pan and our chicken is actually fried in a pan in which it is flattened and covered with a heavy load or heavy lid.

For this dish you should use a young chicken weighing about 500 g up to a maximum of 1 kg. To be able to flatten the bird in the pan, you can crush it carefully with a meat tenderizer under a cling film. Thus, the big surface of the chicken will cover the entire pan.
