Exotic chicken with long red pepper

This exotic chicken recipe is unmistakably reminiscent of the sweet and savory flavors typically found in East Asia. The red long pepper balances the whole with its spicy and cocoa flavor reminiscent of gingerbread, evoking cinnamon, ginger and clove.

SEASONING

For seasoning, we recommend a Uyuni desert salt , which serves as a flavor enhancer while neutralizing the excess sugar present in the fruit. Red long pepper brings a spicy touch and the perfect balance to this exotic dish.

And good appetite, of course !
