Step 1
CHICKEN THIGHS: Wash chicken thighs and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then spray with vegetable oil. Cook in an air fryer at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. Of course, you can also use an oven, but it will take a bit longer.

Step 2
FLATBREADS Prepare flatbread dough. To do this, whisk an egg with a whisk, add kefir and 0.5 tsp salt, mix well. Add flour and 0.5 tsp baking soda. Mix thoroughly. Divide the dough into 4 parts, roll out into flatbreads on a floured surface. Prick one side with a fork.

Step 3
THIGHS While our flatbreads are frying, prepare the caramel sauce for the chicken. Dissolve 2 tablespoons of sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of red pepper in 4 tablespoons of water. Then, without stirring and without covering with a lid, cook the mixture until half of the water evaporates and the syrup acquires a characteristic color. Don't forget about the flatbreads! FLATBREADS Fry the flatbreads in a small amount of oil for 2-3 minutes on each side. I cooked them on two pans simultaneously to save time.

Step 4
DESSERT Let's make a dessert. To do this, place the sour cream into a stand mixer and whisk for 4 minutes. Depending on the fat content of the sour cream, you can end up with either a cream (if the fat content is over 25%) or a tasty drink. I used 20% sour cream, so the result was something in between. It didn't whip up as well as I'd hoped.
