Albanian-style chicken meat is tender, aromatic chicken cutlets prepared using a special technique. This dish originates from Albania, where simplicity and rich flavor are valued. The addition of mayonnaise and starch gives the chicken meat softness and juiciness, while spices add an appetizing zest. Fried in a pan, they resemble pancakes with a golden crust and pleasant texture. This recipe is perfect for both everyday dinners and festive tables. Serve them with vegetables, greens, or light sauces to highlight their rich flavor and airy tenderness.
