This delicious mustard-and-onion-based Senegalese braised chicken needs only 1 to 2 hours in the marinade to achieve deeply flavored and tender results. Once the chicken has marinated for a few hours, the flavor-packed marinade, made with mustard, ginger, onions, and a scotch bonnet chile, is added to the skillet and cooked with the chicken, creating the gravy in the skillet along with the chicken—no oil required.
