When the chicken is done, and you’re ready to serve, it’s time to make the sauce. Remove the chicken from the pot. Dissolve the egg yolks in 2dl of water (the recipe called for more chicken stock but it was already well season, and I decided to use water instead), add it to sauce, bring to a simmer and mix without stopping. Remove from the heat before it boils.
