Armenian chicken is a traditional dish with deep roots in Armenian cuisine, recognized for its intense flavor and special preparation method. This recipe has transcended the borders of Armenia and has been adapted in several Latin American countries, where it is known by similar names, although it may vary slightly in ingredients and techniques. In countries like Mexico, Argentina, or Chile, it is usually found under the name "pollo armenio" or simply "pollo al estilo armenio" (Armenian-style chicken), reflecting the influence of the Armenian diaspora and its integration into the local gastronomy.
The history of Armenian chicken is linked to family tradition and the celebration of special events, thanks to its preparation that combines frying and baking techniques that enhance the flavor of the chicken with a unique mixture of spices and natural juices. This preparation represents a cultural bridge between the cuisine of the European Caucasus and the culinary practices of Latin America, resulting in a dish appreciated for its simplicity and depth of flavor.
