I can’t remember ever having tastier or more mouthwatering chicken, it’s seriously delicious. The recipe seems like a lot of onions, but they really do bring the whole dish together. 1.

To serve, place the onions in a serving dish, place the Yassa Chicken on top (adding any of the cooking juices to the onions) and scatter some fresh chopped parsley over the top.
