8 chicken thighs or drumsticks
1 tsp freshly-ground
black pepper
1/8 tsp
asafoetida
60ml olive oil
60ml liquamen (fish sauce)
2 tbsp parsley, finely minced
Method:
Whisk together the black pepper, asafoetida, olive oil and liquamen in a bowl. Mix in the parsley then add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Place in a shallow dish, cover and set aside in the refrigerator to marinate over night.
