Add to favorites

Amich is sometimes called Armenian chicken. The idea is that the chicken is baked and stuffed with rice and dried fruits. It turns out sweet and spicy: the rice is mixed with dates, dried apricots, almonds and raisins, seasoned with cloves, cinnamon and black pepper. Most likely, you will get more rice and dried fruits than you need to stuff the chicken - feel free to put it in a baking dish nearby.
