How to cook
Chicken
Cut the chicken into serving pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
Browning
Put the chicken skin side down in a preheated dry heavy pan and brown it on both sides, 10 minutes.
The rendered fat spits — keep a lid at hand as a shield.
Onion
Add the butter and the onions sliced into half-rings, and fry with the chicken for 7 minutes until soft.
Tomatoes
Grate the tomatoes on a coarse grater and discard the skins. Cut the pepper into strips.
Braising
Add the tomatoes and pepper to the chicken, season with salt, cover and stew over low heat for 25 minutes.
Herbs
Finely chop the garlic, chili, cilantro and basil. Add them to the pan with the khmeli-suneli and stew for 5 more minutes. The juices at the bone should run clear, with no pink.
Steep
Turn off the heat and let it stand under the lid for 10 minutes. Done!
