What it is
Tender chicken pieces slowly cooked in a traditional clay pot (ketsi) with a rich blend of fresh herbs like tarragon, cilantro, and savory, along with garlic, onions, and often bell peppers. The long, slow cooking process infuses the chicken with deep aromatic flavors, creating a succulent and savory stew-like dish. Served hot from the ketsi.
