About the dish

Picek v kuruznoj meli is a traditional dish originating from the region of Međimurje. The dish is made with a whole chicken, cornflour, pork fat, and salt. The chicken is cleaned, cut into pieces, seasoned with salt, and rolled in corn flour. It is then placed in a baking pan over pork fat and baked in the oven. As the chicken is baking, it should be turned over as soon as one side becomes golden brown. Once baked, the dish is traditionally served with baked potatoes and green salad on the side.
