  • Cut up the chicken, separating the legs and wings, then cut all the parts into pieces. I sometimes use just the breast or just the thighs, but it's more authentic to make satsivi from a whole chicken. Cover the chicken with boiling water and cook for about 60–80 minutes, skimming off the foam from time to time. Peel the onion, wash it, cut it into quarters, and slice it into strips. Sauté the onion in vegetable oil until golden. Grind the shelled walnuts into a powder — I use a blender, but a rolling pin works too. Combine the nuts with the sautéed onion, then add paprika, hot red pepper, and coriander to taste. Pour in the cooking broth (about 3 ladlefuls). If the sauce comes out thin, you can add a little flour. Season with salt. Pull the meat off the bones and shred it. Stir the shredded meat into the sauce. Add the chopped herbs and grated garlic to the satsivi and mix well. The Georgian satsivi is ready to serve. It's served cold — including the next day — and never reheated. If you heat it, the sauce darkens and the flavor changes. Enjoy!
