We're at “M” in our Around the World for £4 or less quest. This started out as a bit of fun “Let's find a recipe from every nation from A to Z with regional options for letters which don't have nations represented. “ You can see all the recipes we've tried so far here (Sorry they are not in Alphabetical order any more!)
 
So Poulet Yassa. It's a citrus Chicken dish which we served on a bed of fragrant rice.

1 small Chicken
1 large Onion, sliced
3 Chilli Peppers, minced
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
½ the juice of a Lemon and a Lime

Vegetables of choice sliced

Method:-
 
(1) Spatchcock the Chicken – (Details here) and marinade in all the ingredients except the sliced Onion for at least 4 hours.
(2) Cook the Chicken in the oven at 180c for 30 to 40 minutes until the thickest parts run clear which you pierce them.
