Chicken breasts Ufa style
4 servings
60 minutes
Ufa-style chicken breasts are a dish of Bashkir cuisine that combines simplicity and rich flavors of traditional local recipes. Marinated pieces of chicken fillet gain special tenderness and a slight spiciness due to the combination of lemon juice, starch, and spices. Fried in flour on a hot pan, they form a golden crispy crust while retaining juiciness inside. This cooking method makes the dish versatile: it is perfect for both everyday dinners and entertaining guests. In Ufa, such dishes are valued for their heartiness and harmony of taste. Served with vegetables or light side dishes, Ufa-style chicken breasts will provide unforgettable gastronomic impressions to everyone who tries them.
