Place the chicken pieces in a pan with the stock, bay leaf, pepper, parsley and the sauce made from the onions with the flour and wine. Cook for approximately one hour. In a mortar or processor, crush the almonds and the cooked egg yolk and add to the pot. Also crush a few saffron threads with sea salt and add to the pot. Cook for a further 5 minutes.
