Chicken with mayonnaise and garlic
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Use any meaty parts of the chicken: drumsticks, wings, breast, back pieces, etc. If desired, you can remove the meat from the bones and cook just the meat. Use homemade or store-bought mayonnaise, but make sure it's not sour. First, fry the chicken to get a golden crust, then pour in the mayonnaise sauce and simmer in it. Add garlic at the very end so its flavor and aroma don't evaporate. Serve the dish hot.

Step 1
Prepare the listed ingredients. Rinse the poultry pieces, trim off any tendons and membranes if present. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and place the poultry pieces skin-side down. It is very important to heat the oil well so that the skin sears immediately; otherwise, it will stick to the bottom of the pan! Sear the chicken for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 3
The chicken pieces should brown nicely on all sides. If the oil splatters excessively, cover the pan with a lid, but do not seal it completely, otherwise the chicken will steam instead of frying.

In a bowl or cup, mix mayonnaise of any fat content, salt, and ground black pepper. Peel the garlic cloves, press them into the mayonnaise, and pour hot water over everything.

Stir thoroughly, using a fork or whisk to create a mayonnaise sauce. Mayonnaise is difficult to mix, so it will take about 2-3 minutes.

Pour the sauce into the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the chicken for about 20 minutes if it's broiler chicken, or 30-40 minutes if it's farm-raised (home) chicken.
