150 minutes
Fried chicken fillet with onions in honey marinade is the embodiment of Russian home cooking, blending tradition with exquisite flavor. The honey marinade gives the chicken a subtle sweetness that harmonizes with aromatic spices—curry, ginger, and Provencal herbs. The light spiciness of black pepper and garlic enhances the taste, while the fried onions add softness and caramel notes to the dish. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive gathering, revealing a richness of flavors with every bite. It’s easy to prepare: the fillet is marinated, fried until lightly crusted, and then simmered with onions until tender and juicy. It’s best served with a side of fresh vegetables or fluffy mashed potatoes to enjoy every nuance of flavor.
