chicken yassa
May 2, 2026
In this video, I’m making Chicken Yassa, a well-known Gambian dish made with chicken, plenty of onions, mustard and seasoning. I cut the chicken into smaller pieces, cook the onions down, and bring everything together into that tangy onion sauce that makes Yassa so recognisable.
I like serving mine with rice and salad on the side.
Ingredients:
Chicken legs, cut into small pieces
5 medium onions, red, white or mixed
Mustard
Black pepper
Salt
Maggi seasoning, optional
Water
Oil, for frying
