Chicken tabaka (Tsitsila tabaka)

(Chicken tabaka, წიწილა ტაბაკა, Chicken tapaka, Цыпленок табака)

Chicken tabaka is a popular Georgian dish consisting of a chicken that is fried in a special way in a traditional pan called tapa. One should flatten the chicken on a pan by pressing it down with a weight. When it is properly prepared, the chicken should be crispy on the outside, while retaining its tenderness and moistness on the inside.


The dish is often consumed with tkemali plum sauce on the side.
