Yassa Chicken recipe_Chicken with lemon

Since a super chef (and those of you who sent me emails to ask) dropped by and asked for its recipe, I decided to put the recipe on a separated post. The recipe was in French, so I hope my translation will help ;-). Here to all amateurs (but not least in quality cooking) chefs. Enjoy your cooking!

I have got the original recipe for 8 persons. So, it is up to you to divide the ingredients.

2 chickens about 1,5kg each
lime zest
1 glass of lime juice
10-12 medium onions
peanut oil
thym (3 branches)
bay leaves (about 2)
chilly confit
salt and pepper

Cut the chickens in order to obtain 7 pieces. Marinate the chickens in the lime juice for 2 hours, turn them from time to time to make sure that each of them is well absorbed.

Take the chicken pieces out, but keep the marinated sauce. Grill them on charcoal bbq, watch out so that they are not burned. During this time, slice the onions.

In a sauce pan that contains peanut oil, braise the oinions until they turn slightly golden, put salt and pepper according to your taste, add thym, bay leaves, the rest of the marinated sauce and the lime zest. Then, put the chicken pieces on the top of the oinions. On small fire, let it simmer without covering the pan for 15 mins.

Then serve the chicken yassa in an ovale dish (later with white rice or plantain bananas)
