Chicken Yassa is one of the most famous dishes from West
Africa. I can’t remember ever having tastier or more
mouthwatering chicken, it’s seriously delicious. The recipe
seems like a lot of onions, but they really do bring the
whole dish together.
1.
Thoroughly coat the chicken thighs in the Classic
Yassa marinade and leave for at least 24 hours,
preferably 48 hours.
2
Mix the Classic Yassa Marinade through the
sliced onions and leave for around 30 minutes.
3.
Heat up some oil in a large pan and gently fry
the onions over a medium heat until the onions
start to turn a nice golden colour.
4.
Add the dijon mustard and enough chicken
stock just to loosen up the mixture. You are
aiming for something between gravy and fried
onions.
5.
Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
6.
Meanwhile, bbq or char-grill the chicken thighs
until they have a nice golden colour. Place on an
oven tray and finish cooking in the oven.
7.
To serve, place the onions in a serving dish,
place the Yassa Chicken on top (adding any of
the cooking juices to the onions) and scatter
some fresh chopped parsley over the top.
Peanuts are really popular in West Africa, they are used in
stews, soups and springled over many dishes. I cooked this
recipe for my family recently and they have been begging for
more ever since. The peanuts take the already delicious
marinated chicken to a new level.
1.
Thoroughly coat the chicken thighs in the Classic
Yassa marinade and leave for at least 24 hours,
preferably 48 hours.
2
Mix together all the ingredients for the peanut
coating and set aside.
Cooking Step 1.
3.
BBQ or char-grilled the chicken until 75%
cooked through and remove from the heat.
4.
Coat the chicken with the peanut sauce and
return to the oven or grill to finish cooking. You
are looking for a nice golden colour on the peanut
coating.
Serve with Rice or Couscous and any of the
West African Garnishes.
