Tobacco chicken is considered a Caucasian dish. The carcass was being prepared in a special pan, which had a special lid. This household utensil was called "topak". This word has undergone a change and in the end it began to sound like "tobacco." Hence the name of the dish, which turns out very, very appetizing.

Instruction manual
1
Previously, the chicken needs to be washed well, if there are remnants of feathers somewhere - remove everything. Dry the carcass.
2
Cut the chicken along the breast and lay it on a cutting board. With a kitchen hammer, you need to beat the meat well on both sides. Particular attention should be paid to the joints. Ultimately, the carcass should become as flat as possible.
3
Pass the garlic through the press. We rub the chicken with prepared garlic, salt and pepper. Leave the meat to infuse under the influence of spices for 30 minutes.
4
The cooking process will require a deep frying pan and a small amount of vegetable oil. We spread the chicken. So that it is well-fried and snug against the bottom, you need to put some kind of load on it. A pot of water is good. We fry one side for 15-20 minutes until a delicious crust appears, then we turn the carcass overturn and fry the second side for the same amount of time.

Tobacco chicken is best served with potatoes and a light vegetable salad.
