Directions:
1. For the bouillabaisse: Mix the olive oil, garlic, saffron, lemon zest, salt, pepper, fennel seeds, herbes e Provence, onion, celery, and carrot in a large bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
2. Transfer the contents of the bowl to a stainless steel pot and add the tomatoes, wine, water, and potatoes. Cover, bring to a bowl over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and boil gently for 25 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes longer. If adding Pernod, stir it in now with the tarragon.
3. For the Rouille: Remove half a cooked potato and 1/4 cup liquid from the pot and place in a food processor with the garlic, cayenne, and paprika. Process for 10 seconds. Add the egg yolk.
4. Then, with the processor running, slowly pour in the oil and process for a few seconds, or until incorporated. Taste for salt and add, if needed.
5. Serve the bouillabaisse in warmed soup plates with a spoonful of the rouille drizzled on top.
