Cut up the chicken and brown it on the stove (in a pot containing the oil). Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients.
Once the chicken is golden brown, add the onions, which you melt while stirring with the chicken, then the garlic (which should not burn), then the saffron and finally the tomatoes. Stir and melt the tomatoes.
Then add water until it covers the top of the chicken, and finally add the thyme.
Once you’ve obtained a sauce about 3 mm thick. Add pepper at the end of cooking. Add more salt during cooking if necessary (taste to be sure).
Eat with rice, grains and a spicy mango rougail of course…
