I ate this for the first time last summer, when I visited Gaga and her village Sumrakovac. As I later found out, a lot of people batter chicken this way. First, you cook it to make soup, then you batter it into flour and eggs, season and fry. Chicken is tender and juicy, and batter finger-licking good!
Wonderful 2 in 1 dish!
Now here is a recipe that merges three great ones. There’s Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic, Lemon chicken and Cider chicken. Turns out that combination of the three is quite good actually. With a little rosemary aroma, this recipe is a winner. The only thing I would change next time is to make it only using chicken drumsticks and thighs, as they are softer and juicier than the rest of the chicken when prepared this way.
When people are away from home, sometimes they start doing traditional things that they didn’t use to do at home. You go to another part of the world and by all means have to have some traditional item. For example, I wanted to celebrate this Christmas as proper as possible. A couple of dear people from Balkans, one Estonian, food that reminds of home and Badnjak. The good times.
Orthodox Christmas is on January the 7th. The day before, we fast.
