Preparation steps
Step 1
Start by preparing the chicken: carefully cut it along the breastbone and rinse thoroughly under running water.
Step 2
Thoroughly pat the chicken dry. Then, rub it with regular salt on the outside and fragrant Svanetian salt on the inside, allowing the meat to absorb the spicy notes.
Step 3
Pour vegetable oil into the pan and heat it thoroughly to create ideal conditions for frying.
Step 4
Place the chicken skin-side down in a hot pan, press it with a weight, and fry until partially cooked, so the skin turns golden and crispy.
Step 5
Flip the chicken, press it down again, and cook until fully done, ensuring the meat is tender and juicy.
Step 6
Meanwhile, grate the garlic on a fine grater and sauté it in vegetable oil over low heat until a fragrant aroma appears.
Step 7
Cut the cooked chicken into small serving pieces and generously pour the prepared creamy garlic sauce over it.
Step 8
Complete the masterpiece by garnishing the dish with vibrant pomegranate seeds and fresh dill leaves, imparting not only flavor but also aesthetic perfection.
For sauce:
Step 1
Add the cream to the garlic and reduce the sauce until it thickens to your desired consistency, transforming into a smooth and flavorful sauce.
Enjoy your meal!
