Description
Chicken Tabaka (chicken tapaka, burden. "of Zilla tobacco" from the name of Georgian pans, in which it is prepared (cargo. tapha — "pan", perhaps derived from the Arabic word tabbaq — "dish", "tray", "plate") is a popular dish of Caucasian cuisine. Represents a chicken, fried with garlic, pepper and spices. Common name of the food in Armenia, tapakatz having literally "fried chicken" or "flattened chicken". Probably all of the name date back to the Arabic "tabbaq" and its original meaning "flat", "plane", "crushed", (hence the "sheet" (in the sense of "squashed flat") as the name of the tobacco leaf — the leaf of a plant, which was called "Tutun" (cf Ukr. "tyutyun"), hence "tobacco", I guess.

Cooking
I already wrote about it in a story about the pea soup, but ... again... happened today interesting event. I remembered, somehow one meal. In one of my visits to holiday in the Union (Yes ... I'm talking about those times when the yard was still a Union...), we went with friends in "Aragvi". If anyone knows what it is, I will not explain. I think it's futile to tell what it was in the early eighties. So, if you do not rastreskivatsja, I remembered the local "Arabiska" chickens tobacco. And so, you know, I wanted to eat this delicious flavored bird that much...!!! What can I do? Remnants of the accursed modern liberast Democrats of the past. It was this desire that led me to the bench in one of the villages that are around our pond are located. And in the shop it was found that such a pair of birds. Never imported any, and that neither is normal ... the village.
However on closer inspection it turned out that is found a perfect confirmation of the naturalness of the birds, so to speak, home origin and the absence of any chemical nastiness. What is the evidence? Yes here is.... And how to deal with it ... Oh, just everything. Take this this device. Simple and, by the way, it is highly needed in the economy. Costs pennies and the usefulness in it and applications ... in General, I advise to get and use.
This time I used it that way. And everything turned out accurately, quickly and efficiently. Skin, though slightly cracked, but that's nothing.
After that, Tsyplenkov should be cut. But not quite, but rather incision. The breast. Carcass as it unfolds. Then we need to work hard and clean everything inside. What is superfluous. All sorts of films there, blood clots and unnecessary ilocki.
Then the carcass should be well washed and dried. Paper towels it is best to do.
And then the carcass is necessary to beat. But without fanaticism. I have a special hammer was not, so I took a potato masher. And not flying anything, not splashing, cover the bird with foil. Very convenient for the purity of the environment.
According to the precepts of experts and the laws of the genre on Tsyplenkov need to marinate. Remember what it says in the beginning? About the garlic, peppers and spices.... Doing a marinade. Take a few horoshenkov black and fragrant pepper, a couple Bay leaves. And all these leaves and peas to be squashed. In a mortar. So finely did not happen. It would be best, of course... but the mortar here, too, I have no, so I have all these peppers and Bay leaf crushed with a pestle, and then to this he added salt, pepper red ground, black pepper ground ... also, and a spoonful of thyme. Still it would be good koreandra, but alas.... And then all mix well. Here have a mortar, which is not. So again, pick it up a little dented. Garlic. The amount depends on taste. Its finely chopped. It is advised not to crush and chop.
Pour the mixture in vegetable oil. You could, of course, take some delicious – flavorful, but I thought this was a better go easy, sunflower. No extra flavors to .... In General, took the, again, simple and no flavored. Not a lot of Leyte. Gram a maximum of seventy. Garlic sent into the same bowl. To the rest of the marinade ingredients. And all carefully to move. Very good. The salt was dissolved. Well, let "disappear", but evenly distributed throughout the marinade. Although, you still settle ... again stir have "before..." And then cover the bowl with a saucer and leave to stand for an hour. All the aromas and flavours came together in one line ... pickle.
And after an hour or so to RUB the birds of the resulting composition. First one side.
Then just as good to RUB and with the other hand. I then put the birds in a bowl, covered dish, put on top of the cargo and put it in the fridge.
They had been there ... almost. In the morning I got the Tapu. Tapa is pan so. It looks like this ... or like this. However some say that the real Tapa – the screw cap is available. For best pressing (or pinching?) the lid of the product. Just in case. Don't ask me where I got her. I do not remember. In some selpe caught. And cover the taps for her. The same cast iron and very heavy. So that means fry Tapa for her to squeeze. Much. Then collect the Tapu "the kit", that is, cover it with a lid and put on fire. Let it stand. For a long time is not necessary, but twenty minutes warm should be good. Why, ask warm? Here's a look at the result and ... if I do I will be your cast iron cookware is always ready for new challenges. Unless, of course, the dishes do a real cast iron, not Kaka thread Teflon thinking about us always!
I wanted to limit "on the street" only to those that prepare the tapas for use, but then decided the chickens to roast on an open fire. However it is winter and though not much freezing, but the wind today. And not the July chesslovo, affectionate. As soon as these fishermen on the ice all day sitting. It's cold. But! Agreed ... and I will!!! From harm. Remove the bowl of chicken. Out what began. Marinated, flavorful.... For me it seemed that the bird is completely in the Tapu will not be included, so I cut it ... in half. Not along, of course. Across.
The pan is well warmed up. Look how ghee from cow's butter... rather as the oil in the pan reacted!!! And I added a little vegetable oil. Just a spoon, literally, and a half canteens. Even less. The oil is slightly warmed, without fanaticism,
... and then the bird there and posted.
On top put the lid. Why "put"? Yes, because this is not a cover, and plate iron ... chesslovo.
I roasted for about twenty minutes. Why so long? And all for the same reason ... winter on the street. And the breeze, though not very frosty, but still. Therefore, even though the bottom and the fire, but from above the wind. Cold. Then the bird turned....
And again, put it on top crystobolite, roasted another fifteen minutes. You only need about five minutes later some chicken to shemalechat. The skin he has a soft, sticks. That's all. The marinade turned out it's what you need. As I said, it would be possible to add a bit of sunflower seeds korendovych. But, in General, everything was very tasty. Remark only one. From her own feelings. Do not take birds weighing more than five hundred grams. Then they cooked through better will hrustaleu and much vkusnoe.
