One of the most famous African dish. Originary from Senegal, there are many variation of this recipe, this is ours :-)
Usually it's served with basmati white rice.
Ingredients- chicken thights (we used 8) - 4 yellow onions - bay leaves - 3 garlic cloves
To marinate- 3 lemon juice - 2 tablespoon of dijon mustard - chili powder - salt - black pepper - 3 tablespoon of olive oil |
Make the marinate sauce: mix in a bowl lemon juice, olive oil, mustard |
Salt and pepper to taste, 1 teaspoon of chili pepper. |
Put the chicken thights in a bowl and pour the sauce over them. Let them manirated in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours (even more if you can, up to 1 2hours) |
Chop the onions and put them in a large pan with some oilve oil and 3 garlic cloves. Start to cook them low fire stiring sometime. |
Heat the oven 180°C (360F). In a oven tray place the chicken without the marinate sauce (but save it for later!!). |
Cook in the oven 180°C (360F) for 13 min. Flip them and cook again in the oven for an other 13 min. |
In the mainwhile the onions should be soft, add the bay leafs and stir. |
Remove the chicken from the oven and place it on top of the onions. Add the marinate sauce you saved and the suace left on the oven tray (if you have it). Depending on how much marineted sauce you have you can add a glass of broth. You can also add it after if it becomes dry. |
Cover the pot and let it cook for 30 min, flipping once the chicken pieces. |
After 30 min check if the chicken is cook, it might need a bit more (most depends on your oven and how much the chicken cooks there). Serve hot. |
