Maison Le Grand

Only a few hours will transform ordinary chicken into a tasty feast. Two hours! That’s enough time to reorganize all the kitchen drawers, wash the floors, sort unpaid bills in order of emergency, and have a cup of tea on the deck of your tight ship! During that time the thought of the chicken also working by actively marinating gave you wings…

INGREDIENTS  serves 2 to 4 

• 6 chicken thighs
• 1 cup (250ml) plain yogurt
• 6 tbs (75ml) Le Grand’s Tapenade mild or spicy
• 5 garlic cloves (crushed) I use organic garlic, in this case I can see, feel and taste the difference…
• The juice of one lemon
• 4 tbs (60 ml) fresh, chopped coriander
• 2 green onions, finely chopped 
• Sea salt
• PREPARATION
• In a bowl rub the chicken with lemon juice
• In a bowl mix the Tapenade and the yogourt, set aside to top the chicken before serving
• Marinate for 2 h or more
• Heat up the BBQ at medium heat
• Cook to your liking, but don’t let it burn and scorch, slow cooking is preferable
• When you are done “flipping” your chicken, brush it with lemon juice and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt
• Spread the rest of the sauce on the chicken, let it cook a little longer
• Add the coriander and green onion
• Let it sit and have another sip…
