Description
The main feature of this classic Georgian recipe is the abundance of garlic. It's best to prepare chkmeruli not on a first date, but during lively family or friends gatherings where everyone knows each other well. Sauté a young chicken in a skillet, generously chop garlic and cilantro into a rich creamy sauce, roast sweet pumpkin as a side dish, and set out a bowl of homemade pickles. Enjoy all of this together, and then don’t be afraid to breathe on each other.
Ingredients
- Poultry - 1 piece
- Garlic - 10 cloves

- Milk - 15 fl oz
- Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients.
Step 2
Cut the whole chicken along the breast and open it up like a book. If there is fat in the tail area, remove it.
Step 3
Coat the chicken with adjika, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
In a skillet, heat vegetable oil or melt chicken fat. Place the chicken skin-side down and press it down with a weight. This can be a special press, a clean stone, or a heavy pot filled with water. Cook for 7–10 minutes until a caramelized crust forms.
Step 5
Then turn the chicken over and cook under a weight for another 7–10 minutes.
Step 6
Cut the roasted chicken into serving pieces by removing the backbone: drumsticks, wings with part of the breast, and the lower breast sections.
Step 7
Crush the garlic using a press, add a little salt and water, and mix well. You should end up with a garlic paste.
Step 8
In the same skillet, heat the garlic mixture until it becomes fragrant.
Step 9
Then pour in the milk and add the pieces of chicken.
Step 10
Cover and simmer on low heat for another 15–20 minutes. Serve.
