Ginger-spiced chicken baked in salt is a culinary masterpiece that combines the sophistication of spices with the simplicity of preparation. Baking in salt gives the meat extraordinary juiciness, while the spicy additions provide a pronounced flavor. Ginger adds warm spiciness, and curry and ucho-suneli create a rich bouquet of aromas. This recipe recalls the traditions of Indian and Caucasian cuisine but remains unique due to its author's approach. It is perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy family gathering, harmonizing with vegetable side dishes. Light aromatic onions baked with mayonnaise complement the meat with tenderness and a sweet note. This dish not only delights the palate but also creates an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.
