Senegalese Poulet Yassa Recette can serve a large group of people. My recipe here serves roughly six people, you can double it up easily to serve 12 if desired.

It also makes for excellent leftovers and can even be frozen if desired for some meal preps.

Is Poulet Yassa Spicy

Yes because of the cayenne pepper and Dijon mustard. You can always use more or less of the cayenne pepper and replace it for paprika instead if desired. But do not skimp on the mustard, however feel free to use regular mustard as that works well too.
