Chicken Bitki

Submitted by ksilvan

"Chicken is one of the most popular meats eaten in eastern Europe. Use guinea fowl to mimic the gamey flavour of their chickens. Serve with pickled beets and a green salad. My kids like this with dipping sauces, ketchup, ranch dip, and honey mustard are their favorites."
