The chicken thighs and legs were on sale at the market, and I could not resist the temptation! Those supermarkets always know how to get you.
The chicken used to make this dish can be grilled or fried then simmered with, mustard, seasonings and fresh lemon juice until succulent and aromatic. Anytime I have to choose between fried and grilled food the latter wins.I am not usually a big fan of lemon chicken – mostly because the lemon is always overpowering, but this recipe is just right!
You can adjust the lemon to suit your taste buds. The addition of hot peppers and bay leaves gives a flavorful kick to the chicken.
This Yassa Chicken is fantastic; it is versatile enough for a week night meal or an elegant dinner party centerpiece because you can do the prep work the day before to deepen and tenderize the chicken. . Be sure to shake off any excess marinade of the chicken before grilling
This is usually served over white rice or couscous and vegetables on the side.
