Chicken sauce is one of the simplest yet tastiest Nigerian recipes, so even beginner cooks can give it a try. Just follow these steps, and you should be just fine:
- Begin by thoroughly washing the vegetables. Scrape the carrots, de-seed the tomatoes, cut all of the veggies up into small pieces and set them aside.
- Season your chicken with three flavour cubes (leave one for later), garlic, thyme, scotch bonnet peppers and curry. Cook it in water until well done.
- When your chicken is done, drain the liquid into a separate bowl and set the pot aside, so that the chicken can cool down. After it has cooled a little, cut it into cubes and leave until later.
- Sieve flour into a bowl with water, give it a mix and set the bowl aside as well.
- Put a pan on the stove, pour your vegetable oil in and heat it up.
- When the oil is warm enough, put in the tomatoes and onions. Season them with the remaining flavour cube and fry them until soft.
- After that, add curry and the stock from the chicken to the pot. Give it a good stir and add a little more water if the mixture is too thick.
- Add all of your chopped vegetables to the pot and stir it all well until they are incorporated.
- Right after that, add the chicken and dissolved flour, as well as some additional seasonings. Give your sauce a stir and then leave it to simmer on medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
- When the time is up, taste the sauce and add some more spices if it is not flavourful enough for you. And your chicken sauce is done! Serve it up with boiled rice or spaghetti.
See? It is very simple. You will be able to cook your own chicken sauce in no time! So go get your shopping list and make some of this deliciousness for yourself and your loved ones. Bon appetit!
