15 minutes

Eastern-style chicken with honey and ginger is an embodiment of the aromas and flavors of Turkmen cuisine, combining the tenderness of chicken meat, the spiciness of ginger, and the sweetness of honey. This dish evokes ancient caravan routes where traders exchanged spices and cooking secrets. Lemon juice and soy sauce give the chicken a rich flavor with a slight tanginess, while white pepper adds zest. It cooks quickly while preserving the juiciness of the meat and allowing the ingredients to reveal their best qualities. It pairs perfectly with rice or flatbreads, making the meal special. It's not just food; it's a journey into a world of exotic flavors and aromas that brings warmth and comfort.
