4. Sprinkle the carcass from all sides with spices and garlic, passed through a press.
5. Lubricate the chicken with vegetable oil and wrap it in food foil.
6. Place the bird on a large flat dish and put it in this form in the fridge to marinate for 12 hours.
7. After the indicated time we remove the film, heat the pan red hot and fry the chicken on both sides on medium heat for 15 minutes on each side, pressing down the carcass with a press. As a press, you can use, for example, a jar of water placed on a flat plate.
8. Immediately after cooking, grease chicken with a garlic dressing made on the basis of butter, in which the bird was fried - simply connect the butter with chopped parsley and a clove of garlic passed through a press.
9. Serve hot.
