Breaded chicken pieces are a true masterpiece of Russian cuisine, combining simplicity of preparation and delightful taste. Originally, such recipes emerged as a way to make meat juicier and more aromatic, especially at home. The breading of flour and starch gives the pieces a crispy golden crust, while baking soda and lemon juice add softness and tenderness. The flavor is rich with a hint of citrus. These crispy pieces pair excellently with fresh vegetables, side dishes, or simply with sour cream sauce. The dish is perfect for both everyday family dinners and festive gatherings, delighting guests with its appetizing appearance and superb taste.
