Ingredients
  

  • French mustard
  • 2 cubes chicken stock
  • 1 dried chili
  • pepper and salt
  • 1 cup water
  • Lemon juice or 4 squished lemons
  • 1 small chicken
  • peanut oil
  • 8 onions

Instructions
 

  • The best way to do is to marinade the chicken one day before.
  • Make the marinade sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons French mustard with 4 tablespoons of peanut oil and 6 tablespoons of lemon juice.
  • Cut the chicken into smaller pieces and use ¾ of the mix to marinate the chicken.
  • Keep the rest of the marinade for the next day.
  • Now let the chicken rest in the fridge for a day (if you don’t have a day then let it rest 3 hours at least)
  • Cut the 8 onions in large pieces and mix them with the rest of the marinade
  • Put 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a large pan and heat it up.
  • Now fry the chicken on high heat so it will turn brown quickly.
  • Once fried turn the fire on low heat and add the onions and the rest of the marinade and cook for around 10 min.
  • Once the onions are soft you should add the chicken stock cubes and 2 cups of waters and soften, add the chicken pieces, stock cubes, 2 cups of water and the dried chili.
  • Now cook for around 45 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  • Taste with a spoon to see if extra salt or pepper is needed.
  • You can serve the rice with either cooked white rice (most common) or Sweet potato.
  • Enjoy the delicious taste of your homemade Poulet Yassa from Senegal.
