How to make chicken thigh fillet in the oven? A very simple, quick and affordable dish. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list.

In a bowl, combine medium-hot adjika with sour cream. If adjika is very spicy, you can dilute it with the same amount of tomato paste or tomato sauce. To make the chicken less spicy, you can reduce the amount of adjika or replace it with sweet chili sauce.
