Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 250 g chicken thighs
Trim and slightly thin two chicken thighs so they cook evenly.
  • 2 g salt
  • dried oregano
Season with about 1% salt by weight and press a generous coating of dried oregano into the surface.
  • 10 g oil
Heat 10 grams of oil in a stainless steel pan to about 400F and lay the chicken down, watching the heat: enough for a crust but not enough to scorch the oregano.
  • lettuce
  • tomato
  • lemon
After a few minutes the chicken releases naturally from the pan; flip it, add chef presses and finish the second side.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
  • yellow rice
  • pickled onions
  • dill sauce
Serve over reheated yellow rice with lettuce and diced tomato, a squeeze of lemon, pickled onions and a couple of spoonfuls of dill sauce.
