Tapaka Chicken
Ingredients
- Olive Oil - 1 fl oz
- Fresh basil leaves - 1 teaspoon
- Cilantro - 1 teaspoon

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Take small fresh chickens.
Step 2
Make a cut along the middle of the breast.
Step 3
Flatten the carcass skin side up and pound it with a meat mallet to achieve a flat shape. This will help make the meat more tender and ensure it adheres closely to the pan for even frying.
Step 4
Prepare the marinade. Marinade recipes vary widely; this one is made with wine and herbs—just mix all the ingredients well.
Step 5
Place the chickens in a bag, pour in the marinade, and let them sit for 1–2 hours.
Step 6
Heat a pan, add a little oil, and place the chicken skin side down. Place a plate on top and weigh it down with something heavy, like a pot of water. Fry on low heat for 15 minutes.
Step 7
When the skin turns golden, flip the bird and fry the other side for another 10–15 minutes. The key is not to use high heat and to keep the weight on.
Step 8
For the sauce, crush the garlic with sea salt in a mortar, add the sour cream, and mix.
