- Sprinkle pieces of chicken fillet with a mixture of sugar and salt, mix thoroughly with your hands, add a mixture of spices and mix well again, literally mix the meat with salt and spices.
- Then the fillet should be slightly tamped, close the lid and refrigerate for 1 day. To make the meat better let the juice and marinate, it is recommended to crush it with oppression (cover the meat with a plate, and put a clean three-liter jar of water on top).
Soaking
- After 24 hours, remove the pickled meat from the refrigerator.
- Pour cold water in the same container.
- Steep meat for 3 hours, changing water every hour.
- After 3 hours, drain the water.
Drying (drying)

To give carpaccio a beautiful color, add ground paprika to the spices - 1-2 tbsp. l It is also appropriate to use garlic in the preparation of this dish, and it is better to take dried - it will connect well with other seasonings and give an appetizing smell. At your discretion, you can also take a mixture of peppers - red, white and black, adjusting the sharpness, or make your own combination of spices.
- Dry the meat with paper towels and rub thoroughly with a spicy mixture.
- String each piece of fillet on a strong thread (fishing line) 35-45 cm long and tie it with a loop so that you can hang the meat for drying.
- The meat should be hung for 3-4 days in a well-ventilated place - on a glazed balcony, in a room near the battery, in a draft. The main thing - you can not dry carpaccio in the sun and in a dusty room.
Ready meat should be dry, hard, but not too hard. It is cut into thin translucent slices, which can be served as sliced with other meat products or separately, sprinkled with dressing from lemon juice and olive oil, can be added to salads or put on sandwiches. In any form, carpaccio is very tasty.
