"Salkhino" in Georgian means something like "unlimited fun", which exactly echoes the essence of the Georgian feast. And tapa is a heavy large frying pan on which a large piece of meat is slowly baked together with a side dish. This dish is created for a hearty and leisurely meal with endless toasts and beautiful songs. By the way, it is the leisurely consumption of food and the abundance of red wine that allow Georgian cuisine to freely operate such controversial products from the point of view of dietology as fatty lamb fried in fat tail fat. In addition, unlike the Russian tradition, Georgians serve fried meat not only with potatoes, but also easier to perceive vegetables and greens.

Tapa is a large flat frying pan on which the chicken carcass is flattened when frying, hence the correct Georgian name of the dish - "chicken tapaka", that is, cooked on tapa. Where did tobacco come from? Most likely, just by consonance, there was a broken telephone, as often happens with names borrowed from a foreign language. Chicken tapaka is a portioned dish, a small chicken is just enough to fill up a person with a good appetite, it is not customary to share it. You should not marinate the bird in spices for too long, otherwise they will drown out the taste of the chicken, thirty minutes will be enough. But you should definitely beat it well and then press it against the frying pan with a press (a large cast iron frying pan works great as a press) : the bird will be fried through and covered with a golden crust.
