A very popular recipe in Russian and post-Soviet cuisine, taken from Georgian cuisine - and in fact "Tapaka" means a pan with a very heavy lid, which can press food during cooking.

The chicken is crispy, fragrant and very tasty, I recommend it with confidence.

Step 7

Put the chicken with the skin up in the pan, and press it with something - I put a wooden bottom and over it a jar of 2 liter tomato juice.

Leave the fire under the pan on medium heat for about 15 minutes, then for less than 10 minutes.

After this time, turn the chicken - it should brown nicely - if it doesn't, increase the flame.

On the other side, leave it for 15 minutes on medium heat and another 10 minutes on low heat. After this time, try the chicken, prick it with a knife or fork and see that no more pink sauce flows from it.

If it is not done, leave it for about 15 minutes on medium heat on one side and on the other.
