Recipe of Authentic Style Poulet Yassa
Local recipe with some adjustments of mine.
Ingredients
No.1
- 300 g chicken thigh bite size
- 2 onion slice
- 15 g garlic grated
- 80 ml lemon juice
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
- 2 pinch chili powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
No.3
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
No.4
- Free lemon juice
No.5
- Free salt
- Free pepper
- Free sugar
Instructions
- Mix all the chicken, onions, garlic, lemon juice, peanut oil, chili powder, salt and pepper.Refrigerate overnight.
- Grill the chicken on the grill or in the oven.Until the surface is slightly charred.※The authentic way is to grill it over charcoal.
- While the chicken is grilling, caramelize the onions.Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onions.Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes.
- Add the chicken and marinade juice.Mix well, scraping off any browned bits(suc) with the marinade juice.Add lemon juice if needed.Cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes.※It is a so-called déglacer. There is a lot of flavor in these browned bits(suc).※If you are using a non-stick frying pan, it may be best not to scrape. I think the browned bits are on the onions to begin with. Therefore, there is no déglacer effect. However, since the browned bits are on the onions, I think they are delicious.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.If it is too sour, add some sugar.
- Put chicken on the cooked rice.Next, put the onions.Finish

Notes
・The time it takes to caramelize onions depends on the cooking utensils and the variety of onions.
・The amount of lemon is important. However, the quality of lemons differs from country to country. So, the amount of lemon needs to be adjusted.
・I like chicken thigh, so I used this part.
