Yield 6 People

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs, like tarragon and sage
2 tablespoons tahini or peanut butter
ÃÂ¼ cup olive oil, more for frying
Flour for dredging
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 4 half-breasts
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

PREPARATION In a blender or the container of a food processor, combine onion, herbs and tahini. As you purÃÂ©e the mixture, slowly add just enough olive oil through the feed tube to make a thick, smooth paste; do not let it get too thin. Put flour in a shallow bowl. Place chicken in another bowl. Rub purÃÂ©ed mixture over chicken, then dredge each piece in flour. Gently shake off any excess flour, coat again with paste and dredge once more in flour. Heat 1/4 inch olive oil in a skillet; when it is hot, fry chicken for about 4 minutes each side, until well browned and cooked through; it will take longer if you use chicken with the bone in. Garnish with parsley and serve hot or warm, with lemon wedges.
