  • How to make the best African Chicken Stew! This chicken tomato stew is so flavorful due to the herbs and spices used. Growing up in Cameroon, this was a staple on our Christmas table. It is the stew to make for the holidays, weekends or special occasions.
    African Chicken Stew is often eaten over white rice but you can eat it with pasta too. Also, serving with sweet fried plantains just takes this meal over the top! Hope you enjoy, friends!

    Now I understand what you mean by "Hard Chicken", its what a lot of the world calls a "fowl" ie, a chicken that was kept to lay eggs for many years, as opposed to a chicken raised in a very short time for meat only.

      But the hard chicken in Kenya we call them kienyeji meaning a hen that is a tradition chicken with no substance that makes them to grow up fast. the traditional hen takes months for it to be eaten. Coz it grows slowly.

      in UK we call them 'stewing hens' since the meat is tough they are best stewed or braised

      @@PreciousKitchen DO NOT WASH YOUR CHICKEN, this is an outdated practice, food standards are high enough now that cooking your chicken thoroughly is enough to kill all dangerous bacteria. Washing your chicken simply spreads salmonella all over your sink and kitchen, it is very dangerous to wash your chicken and it achieves absolutely nothing that cooking alone does not achieve.
