Chicken Scotch Eggs

Today we will cook Scotch eggs. This is a famous British snack, which is very fond of Albion. This dish cannot be called a diet, because the eggs in Scottish should be fried in deep fat. To make the recipe a little easier, we will make a chicken fillet snack with quail eggs inside. Fresh greens and garlic give the poultry meat a unique flavor, making the snack especially tasty. Optionally, you can slightly move away from the classic recipe and bake eggs in Scotch in the oven or cook them in a double boiler.
