Chicken hedgehogs
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This is a very simple recipe for chicken "hedgehogs," and I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. It takes me about half an hour to mix the minced meat, shape and fry the balls, and then they simmer for another half hour completely on their own, without any help from you. Give it a try—you won't regret it. The ready dish can be served.
