Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Peppered chicken is the Nigerian party chicken: pieces of hard chicken (hen) seasoned, cooked until tender, grilled or fried golden, then tossed in a thick, coarse, bright-red fry of tatashe peppers, scotch bonnet and onion until every piece is coated. It is served with jollof or fried rice at owambes, as a snack with a cold drink, and at bars as the sister of peppered gizzards and peppered snails. Turkey is done the same way at Christmas.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 9 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
