In addition to chicken, you can add a variety of spices to the snack. In addition to spices, you can add vegetables or mushrooms. Walnuts and prunes complement the taste of the snack very well.
A bottle is used to form the roll. To make it convenient to place pieces of kritsa and other products into it, the narrow neck of the bottle is usually cut off. The filled bottle is covered with foil or cling film on top and placed in the refrigerator.
After the roll has hardened, the bottle is carefully cut and the finished product is removed. The roll is cut into circles, like sausage. The sliced roll is simply laid out in rows on a dish or used to make sandwiches.

This simple but very beautiful dish can also be served on holidays: thanks to its unusual, appetizing appearance, the appetizer will attract everyone's attention at the table. However, despite its simplicity, preparing chicken roll still requires compliance with some rules:
It is better to cook the meat in already seasoned, salted water, otherwise it will turn out fresh,
in order for the roll to be evenly beautiful, you need to mix them in one bowl before placing the components in the bottle, carefully distributing the gelatin mass between all products,
actively use corn, green peas, tomatoes and other vegetables, herbs to decorate the dish,
Don’t forget about spices, because chicken itself has a neutral taste and without additives the appetizer will not be as flavorful.
Chicken roll in a bottle with gelatin

Cook the chicken until cooked, let cool in the broth. Then remove the meat from the bones. Decide for yourself what to do with the skin; if your family doesn’t eat it, then it’s better to just remove the skin and throw it away.
Pour gelatin into a glass of cooled broth. Let sit until the gelatin swells. Then heat over low heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved, avoiding boiling.
Pour the gelatin broth over the chopped boiled chicken and taste for salt. If necessary, add a little salt and pepper. Season with dry garlic (you can also use fresh garlic, but it must first be put through a press).

Cooking chicken roll in a slow cooker, without gelatin
You can prepare chicken roll in a plastic bottle without gelatin. This appetizer is cooked in the same way as regular chicken jellied meat, but we will pour it not into trays, but into bottles. To ensure that jellied meat without gelatin hardens, you must use chicken feet. It is better to buy them already cleaned, since cleaning the paws is not the most pleasant task.
- 750-800 gr. chicken legs (you can take half a chicken);
- 800 gr. peeled chicken feet;
- 1 onion;
- 1 carrot;
- 4 cloves of garlic;
- 3 bay leaves;
- 5 peas of allspice;
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg;
- salt, black pepper to taste.
We will prepare the chicken roll in a slow cooker, but, of course, you can cook it on the stove in a regular pan.
Advice! If you come across unpeeled chicken feet, place them in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Leave on for 20 minutes, then rinse with cold water. Next, you will need to remove the tough skin from the paws and cut off the claws.
Place the cleaned legs and washed chicken legs into the multicooker bowl. Pour in water so that the liquid level is slightly higher than the meat level. Select the “quenching” mode, setting the time to 1 hour. Then drain the first broth, rinse the legs and legs. Place back in the bowl, add the peeled carrots and whole onion, bay leaf and spices. Fill with water so that the water level is 1 finger higher than the food level. Select the “quenching” mode again, this time setting the time to 4 hours.
After the program finishes, carefully remove the chicken, legs, onions and carrots. Add thinly sliced garlic to the broth and close the lid. Let the broth brew.
Mushroom roll
You can cook chicken roll in a bottle with mushrooms. For cooking we will use fresh champignons.
- 60-700 gr. chicken fillet (it is not necessary to take fillet from the breast, you can remove it from the legs);
- 6 champignons;
- 20 ml vegetable oil;
- 100 ml cream (fat content 10%);
- 30 gr. gelatin;
- salt, pepper to taste.
Fill the chicken fillet with water so that it just covers the meat. Boil it until cooked, add salt at the end of cooking. Cool the meat in the broth. Cut the meat into large pieces and place in a bowl.
Cut the champignons into small slices and fry them in vegetable oil until tender. Salt the mushrooms and pepper them to taste.
Pour 300 ml of broth, dilute gelatin in it, according to the instructions. Mix mushrooms with chicken pieces and pour in gelatin broth. Transfer the prepared mass into a bottle with the neck cut off. Cover the top of the bottle with foil and place it in the refrigerator. After the roll has hardened, carefully cut the bottle, cut the roll into mugs and serve it to the table.
