Chicken yassa recipe – yassa poulet

If you just say Senegal, I directly think about the delicious dishes. Senegal is known for their delicious dishes such as “Yassa”, “thiebou Dienn” and much more.
If you dont know how to cook those two famous dishes, then let me show you. Today we are going to cook chicken yassa and in the coming post we will be cooking Thiebou Djen. Yassa, mainly consists of onion, it can be cook with chicken, beef or fish.

Chicken Yassa

 

Marinating time: 2h or overnight
Cooking time: 40mn

Video Recipe:


Ingredients:

1 whole chicken, cut into medium pieces
7 onions, sliced
4 lemons or lime juice
2 Tbs of mustard, preferably mustard of Djion
6 Tbs of oil
1 head of garlic
2 chicken seasoning ( or Maggi Jumbo)
2 Tbs black pepper
1/4 Tbs chili powder
salt, to taste

Directions:

The first step is to marinate the chicken, you can marinate it for 2 hour or overnight.

  • Marinade the chicken with 1 Tbs of mustard, half of the garlic, 2 lemons, 1Tbs of black pepper, then keep in the refrigerator for at least 2 h.
  • Next, slice and marinade the onions with the mustard , the lemons , the black pepper ( like you did with the chicken).
  • Next, grill the chicken in the oven or with 3 Tbs of oil on high heat.
  • Next, brown the onions with 3 TBS of oil, then add the remaining garlic, the grilled chicken, 2 cup of water, the seasoning, chili and salt
  • You can serve after 30 or 40mn when the chicken is ready and the liquid in the sauce is totally absorbed

Serve with jasmine rice or marocan couscous and enjoy.

  31. [..YouTube..] I made it for lunch today. Came out quite well. One little point, I think you are using limes, not lemons. That was what I used. A lot of recipes seem to use them interchangeably. I prefer the taste of limes, actually. But that is just a matter of personal preferrence.
