Notes

・This recipe is a combination of various recipes written in Georgian.
・Grilling the chicken while pressing down on it will produce a good amount of chicken oil. Emulsify this chicken oil.
・The locals use a traditional clay pot called Ketsi.
・Many local recipes call for a whole chicken. If you can get one, you'll get a lot of chicken oil. This should be closer to the local flavor.
