30 minutes
Oven-roasted aromatic chicken is a true gastronomic delight that combines the rich traditions of Russian cuisine with a modern take on spices. The tender meat of the cornish hen is infused with a rich marinade that blends the spiciness of ground chili, the depth of garlic, and vibrant Eastern notes of sumac and dry adjika. Himalayan salt adds a special softness to the dish, while baking on salt creates a crispy crust while keeping it juicy inside. This recipe is perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive table, delighting with its rich flavor and appetizing aroma. Serve the chicken with fresh vegetables and herbs to highlight its exquisite taste!
