Chicken cooked according to this recipe turns out tender, juicy, and its taste can easily be confused with shashlik.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, listed the ingredients you will need in the kitchen:
Cut the onion into thin half rings or quarters, add sugar and vinegar and mash with your hands.
Wash the chicken parts (in our case, the thighs), dry with paper towels, cut off excess skin and fat.
Make slits in each piece (for better marinating and quicker cooking), then rub with pepper and your favorite spices and crushed garlic. Important: do not add salt yet.
Place the chicken pieces skin side down in a bowl, sprinkling each layer with the pickled onions.
Place in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours or overnight.
Now you can salt the chicken and place it skin side down in a preheated frying pan with a little oil.
Cover and fry over high heat until golden brown. Then turn the pieces over, reduce the heat and fry under the lid for another 15-20 minutes.
