Production Method:

Ingredients:
- 1100 - 1300 g village chicken - 140 g onion - 2 sweet green peppers, 1 hot green pepper - 220 g tomatoes - 50 g tomato paste - 20 g red pepper flakes - 20 g salt - 100 ml olive oil - 70 ml water

The entire village chicken is washed and cleaned, then cut into pieces with the skin and bones intact. It is rinsed thoroughly again with plenty of water. Water is poured into a pan and heated over medium flame. Before the water reaches a boil, the chicken pieces are placed inside and cooked until the water evaporates, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon safe for food. After the water disappears, olive oil is added, and the chicken is sautéed. When the meat changes color, chopped green peppers and onions are introduced, and the sautéing continues.

Once the onions and peppers become golden, tomato paste is stirred in a few times. Then, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt are added and combined well. Milas Kanlı Kavurması is traditionally served in a metal pan approximately 35 cm in diameter after cooking and stirring for an additional 5 minutes.
