Crispy chicken sauce, poulet crousty style: creamy, smooth and addictive

In France, it's called the sauce for Poulet Crousty: a breaded chicken dish that's become incredibly popular, largely thanks to this creamy, balanced sauce with a touch of smoky sweetness.

Ingredients · Servings 2
  • 3 tablespoons of crème fraîche (or sour cream or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
  • 1 pinch of smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons of sweet and sour sauce
Method · 5 min
  1. Put the crème fraîche, mayonnaise, soy sauce, smoked paprika and sweet and sour sauce in a bowl.
  2. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust to your liking: a little more sweet and sour if you want it milder, or an extra touch of paprika if you fancy it smokier. And that's it!
