Today, Dobby discusses how to make Chicken Suya.

 

I love love love chicken suya. What's not to love about it! Chicken, groundnut spice,fresh tomatoes and onion is the perfect combination. Add chilled drinks to the mix and you're ready to "parrrraaaayyy" this weekend :D. 

 

Yesterday, i made chicken suya for the fam and the compliments haven't stopped pouring in. Apart from filling the whole place with positive vibes, it also gave the home a wonderful aroma. I doubt if there's anyone who gets tired of suya, definitely not me.
Chicken suya can best be described as the quintessential Nigerian street delicacy and is mostly prepared by the originators; The Hausas, which is one of the largest ethnic groups in west Africa. It's therefore not unusual to find it being sold around every corner.

How to make Chicken Suya
• Prep Time:  40 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour
• Misc :          Serve hot

You'll Need:::
• Bamboo skewers
• Aluminum foil

Ingredients:::

• 1 kilogram Skinless chicken (de-boned)

• 2 tbsp. Suya spice

• 3 tbsp. Vegetable oil

For Garnish:::

• Onion

• Fresh tomatoes

• Cucumber

Directions:::

Step 1: In a small bowl, mix the suya spice, vegetable oil and salt to taste together - Set aside. 

Step 2: Soak the bamboo skewers in water for about 20 minutes. This helps prevent it from burning in the oven once you start grilling. 

Step 3: Chop the chicken into small bite sizes with a knife and thread about 4-5 pieces on each bamboo skewer. Make sure you cover the skewer with chicken slices. 

Step 4: Place the threaded skewers on an aluminum foil and lightly brush over the spice mixture on both sides. Cover the threaded skewers with foil paper and leave to marinate for about 20 mins. While it marinates, pre-heat the grill to 450°F 

Step 5: Place the skewers on the grilling rack and grill for about 10 minutes on each side until the chicken is fully cooked. 

Step 6: Sprinkle with extra suya spice and garnish with chopped onion, tomato and cucumber. Serve hot.
