Kurnik is a type of Russian pie, often called the king of pies, royal pie, or festive pie. Filled with chicken, rooster, duck, lamb, beef, nuts, porridge, potatoes, etc.
The most common meaning of the word KURNIK is chicken pie. th(primary meaning) - associated with the noun CHICKEN, which comes from the word kur (rooster).
But there are other opinions: kurnik is a rye flour pie filled with boiled potatoes or carrots, baked in a Russian oven “under the smoke” - i.e. when she is still heating, smoking. Hence the name of the kurnik pie.

How to make dough for kurnik with kefir
- Let's start with the test. Pour kefir into a large bowl, add soda (quicklime) and stir thoroughly. Next we throw in the salt.
- Melt the butter over low heat or in the microwave. Cool and pour into a bowl with kefir, stir.
- Add sifted flour in small portions, stirring the mixture each time. When the mass thickens and becomes difficult to spoon, place the contents of the bowl on the work surface and proceed to kneading by hand.
- Continuing to add flour, we achieve the desired consistency. The dough for chicken should not be very dense, but soft and pleasant to the touch. As soon as the mass stops sticking to your palms, stop adding flour. Cover the dough with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for an hour, while preparing the filling.
How to make filling for kurnik with chicken and potatoes
- Cut the washed fillet into small pieces. Instead of chicken breast, you can also use chicken legs for chicken chicken - in this case, the meat must be separated from the bones and chopped into small pieces.

Set aside about ¼ of the dough and roll out the remaining dough into a thin circle and place it in the bottom of a large heatproof container, forming sides around the edges. Apply a mixture of chicken, onions and potatoes to the base of the pie and distribute evenly.
- Since we are preparing kurnik with chicken fillet, we place pieces of butter on top in random order to make the filling as juicy as possible (in the case of chicken legs, this step can be skipped).
- Roll out the remaining dough into a thin circle slightly smaller than the diameter of the mold and place it on the surface of the chicken pot. We bend the sides of the pie and carefully fasten them to the edges of the cake. To allow steam to escape, we form a small round hole in the center of the chicken pot. Shake the raw yolk with a spoonful of water and lubricate the surface of our workpiece with the resulting mixture.
- Bake kurnik with chicken and potatoes for about 50 minutes at 180 degrees. Let's take a look at the dough: it should brown evenly. After cooling a little, cut the pie into portions and serve!

Kurnik with meat and potatoes - general principles of preparation
The traditional kurnik is a round loaf, inside of which there is a filling layered with pancakes. In our case, meat and potatoes are used for filling. The most aromatic and juicy pies are obtained if you use raw ingredients. But there is a chance that they will not bake well.

Kurnik with meat and potatoes - useful tips and tricks
Chickens made from lean meat are not very tasty, so you can add lard, butter, and various fats to the filling. You can grease the filling with heavy sour cream or cream on top.
Kurnik is a royal loaf. And you can decorate it accordingly. If there are pieces of dough left, you can place flagella, molded leaves and flowers on top of the pie. And so that they “sit” firmly and do not fall off during baking, the planting site must be greased with egg.
Onions and potatoes take a long time to cook and most often they are not baked and remain crispy. To prevent this from happening, you can lightly fry them in a frying pan, but do not bring them to full readiness.

Pour the kefir into a clean, dry bowl and add soda.

After baking soda, add salt to kefir. Stir. Let this white mixture sit for a while, about 5 minutes, so that the soda is well extinguished.

5. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Divide it into 2 parts. Place one fourth of it aside; this will go to the top of the pie. Roll out the first part with a rolling pin into an even circle, if your shape is round, but if it’s rectangular, then into a different shape. Place the resulting dough circle on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. Be sure to make high sides. Next, add the filling.
Then cover the top with a second layer. Connect the edges well. Leave a small hole in the very center so that steam can escape successfully. Brush the top and surface of the pie with raw yolk and water. To do this, simply combine water and yolk and stir the mixture with a fork.
Bake this product for about one hour at a temperature of 180-200 degrees in the oven. As soon as you see that it has browned and acquired a brownish color, remove from the oven.

How to make dough for chicken with sour cream or kefir?
There are a lot of cooking options, a great variety. Every time I bake this product, I focus on my products, I think this is a good idea, because you don’t always have to take only one option and cook, you can try all types, and then settle on just one. How many of you have baked this culinary masterpiece with kefir? What fat content did you use? I usually take the low calorie one.
We will need:
- flour - by eye, so that the dough becomes elastic and not sticky
- kefir - 1 tbsp.
- butter or margarine - 1 pack
- salt and soda each - 0.5 tsp
- potatoes - 4 pcs.
- chicken fillet – 500 g
- onions - 2 pcs.
- pepper and spices as desired
Cooking method:
1. Add soda to kefir.
Important! Wait until the soda dissolves in the kefir, about 2 minutes should pass.
Then carefully pour in the melted margarine.
Important! If you use margarine in any baking, then know that such a flour product will not go stale for a long time than with butter. But it will taste better with butter.
Add flour gradually. Mix well.
2. Knead the dough into an elastic and soft dough so that it does not stick to your hands. After kneading, wrap it in film and put it aside to rest for about an hour.
3. For the filling, cut the chicken fillet into pieces, the onion into cubes, and the potatoes into long thin sticks. Pepper and salt. If you like spices, then add them. I usually use coriander, or all-purpose chicken seasoning.
4. After the dough has rested, divide it into two equal halves. Mash one half with your hands on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil.
5. Add savory toppings.
6. Place a second layer of dough on top of the filling and very carefully roll up the edges of the pie. Make a hole in the center to allow steam to escape. Decorate with different curls.
Interesting! When you take it out of the oven, there will be smoke coming from the center. Maybe that’s why they called this dish so, kurnik, as if someone smokes like a steam locomotive
7. Place the pan in a preheated oven and bake until beautifully golden brown. The oven should be preheated to 180-200 degrees.
8. Delicious chicken stories to you!!! In the old days, such a pie was called Monomakh's cap. To make the dish shiny, cover it with egg yolk, but this is not necessary. Don't forget to invite your friends to see this beauty.
P.S. Do you know that it is customary to serve this meat dish with sauce. Sauces can be made to suit every taste. It can be cheese, creamy, tomato or even mushroom version. I suggest creamy.
So, the preparation steps are as follows:
1. One tablespoon of soft butter is ground with one tablespoon of flour, and this is diluted with any meat broth, about 2 cups. For a twist, add half a teaspoon of cream or sour cream.
2. Cook this sauce on the stove until it thickens and looks like thick sour cream.
3. Afterwards, you need to cool the sauce and add two yolks. Add a little salt and pepper, add chopped dill and mix everything well. Yummy is ready!
With this I will say goodbye, see you again in new articles. Write your comments. Have a good day and mood.

How to prepare dough for chicken
While the dough is rising, prepare everything for the test. Take a large deep bowl. Break two eggs there, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tbsp. spoons of sugar, pour in warm melted butter and mix everything well until smooth.
Now that the dough has arrived, add it to the egg mixture and mix everything together. Add another 200 grams of sifted flour and mix too. The dough still turns out liquid. We measure out another 200 grams of flour and sift it into the dough. Add a spoonful of vegetable oil and knead the dough by hand. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place for 20 minutes. After 20-30 minutes, knead the dough and leave again for 20 minutes in a warm place.
Preparing meat filling for chicken
Cut all the ingredients for the filling, meat, potatoes and onions into small pieces. Meat is easier to cut if it is semi-frozen. Pour everything finely chopped into one bowl and add salt and pepper to taste and mix well until smooth.
During this time our dough has risen. We put it on the board. For convenience, we divide it into two parts. Then cut all the dough into equal pieces weighing 70-80 grams. Roll into balls. Then roll it out into a small flat cake, put the filling in the center and seal the edges together like whites, leaving a hole in the center. We make small meat pies, mini-chickens.
Place our mini-chickens on a baking sheet and grease them with yolk. The yolk can be diluted a little with water. After greasing, let the chickens stand for five minutes and put them in the oven for 30-40 minutes at a temperature of 200 C.
After 30-40 minutes, the chicken chicken can be removed from the oven. Tender and tasty mini-chickens are ready. Bon appetit!
