Today I want to talk about my favorite homemade cuisine, the famous Jollof Rice with chicken pieces.
This is one of the easiest meals one can cook it would just take you around 2 hours to prepare.
The ingredients are simple you would need,
- 1KG Chicken pieces of choice, I prefer drumsticks
- 1 Onion
- 1 piece of ginger
- 2 chicken stock(Cubes)
- 2 garlic
- Curry powder(Add based on your spice level)
- 1 teaspoon mixed herbs
- 1 teaspoon black powder
- A sprinkle of cayenne pepper
- 500 ml of water.
- 2 cups of rice
You would need to boil your rice and let it set to cool while you prepare to cook your chicken.
The chicken part of it is where the flavor and smells start to blend, we need to throw in all the ingredients to start the gravy and once that starts to get thick you can add in your chicken pieces and let that simmer for 30mins.
Once that process is done you can mix your rice and chicken which creates a lovely and homely meal.
Just writing about this meal, it's taking back to my younger days, walking into my after school getting the smell coming out of Kitchen and the sudden rush of excitement and joy knowing I am about to eat my most favorite meal in the world.
