Chicken Suya with Jollof Rice
These grilled meat skewers are SPICY! I can take quite a bit of spice but these were nuclear. They had great flavor I just would like to reduce the heat. Next time I will use two teaspoons of cayenne pepper instead of two tablespoons. I have made Jollof rice before but not using a half sheet pan and baking it. This method worked and produced flavorful fluffy rice.
Chicken Suya
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons cayenne powder
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes (I used onion powder)
2 tablespoons peanuts, finely minced
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (I used boneless skinless thighs)
2 tablespoons peanut oil
DIRECTIONS
Mix all the dry ingredients together.
Slice the chicken into thin pieces. Sprinkle with the seasoning mix, and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Thread the chicken onto skewers and brush with the oil.
Grill or broil for 3 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through.
Note: if using wooden skewers, soak them for at least half an hour before using to avoid burning!
