Prep time 10 minutes
Cook 35 minutes
time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 45 minutes
Did I mention that chicken is one of the most popular 'vegetables' among us Cameroonians/West Africans?

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken thighs
  • 200 g wheat flour
  • 200 g breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 50 ml milk
  • 2 tbsp Suya spice mix
  • 4 tablespoons of  Magic Sauce (or Magic Sauce Spicy for a spicier version)
  • 500 ml frying oil

Instructions 

  • Skin and clean the chicken and pat it dry with a paper towel
  • Make deep cuts in the pieces, salt them, and rub them well with the Magic Sauce. Fill the cuts well with the Magic Sauce
  • Cover and store in the refrigerator for approximately 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight
  • Thoroughly mix the wheat flour with the SuyaMix on a flat plate and set aside
  • Also place the breadcrumbs on a shallow plate
  • Mix the eggs, milk and a little salt well in a bowl
  • Take the chicken pieces out of the refrigerator and coat them one after the other in egg, then in flour, then in egg again, and finally in breadcrumbs
  • Heat the frying oil in a pan and fry the breaded chicken pieces on all sides until golden brown
  • Place the pieces on a baking tray and bake for approximately 30 minutes using the grill function

Notes

My tip for you:
During baking in the oven, the meat loses the oil it absorbed during frying. This makes the meat leaner than if it had been deep-fried.
Mayo, barbecue sauce or allspice sauce go well with this, and anything else you could want as a side dish.
Bon appetite!
