There are two main legends about the origin of aspic. The first one attributes the appearance of the dish to French chefs who came to Russia to "raise" the local cuisine, and the second one is connected with the nomadic peoples of the North - the rich broth was put outside in the cold, where it solidified and turned into jelly. The historical recipe has long been lost, so modern aspic tolerates liberties: it is prepared from pork, beef or, as in our case, chicken. The ratio of meat to broth in aspic can be determined according to your taste. If you want more jelly, you need to double or even triple the amount of broth and gelatin.
