Best Recipe Rice Chicken Chicken | Nigerian Fried Rice

Yesterday, I told you about the Jollof Rice , a very popular recipe in Africa, but also in Nigeria. I wanted to continue in the same logic, and to share with you another recipe made from rice . Today I share with you the recipe for the Nigerian chicken chicken . A dish that I personally love too much.

I cook it all the time at home, maybe even 2 or times a month, eh, and so far, I don't even know why I have never shared the recipe for you. In short, as we often say better late than never .. lol

Good for those who do not know this recipe. The Fried Rice is simply a delicious rice dish, super simple to make. The rice is first cooked aside and then it is sautéed in the pan with a lot of vegetables, without adding tomatoes! Sometimes you can add meat, chicken, shrimp, or not! It depends on you!

Difference between: Nigerian Fried Rice & Asian Fried Rice

In the title of the recipe, I clearly specify the Fried Rice Nigerian , because there is a small difference between the Nigerian version and the version that everyone knows.

 In the other recipe for the Fried Rice, the taste for rice comes from soy sauce while in this version here the taste comes from curry powder, chicken juice, thyme, and other seasoning that is added . I would present you the other version which is a faster, in another post!

 Nigerian Fried Rice: an easy and practical recipe

The Fried Rice not only is it super easy to cook, it's good and it's also super practical lol. It's perfect as a midday dish at work 😉. I sometimes cook the Fried Rice only to eat at noon even 2 times a week at work. 😅

What I still like about this recipe is that everyone can use the ingredients they want, if you like this or that vegetables, you use it. If you don't like it, well you leave . What I do is that I even vary the ingredients all the time. I can add the green bean carrots one day, and the next time I add black beans, sweet corn, peas ! And it's still so delicious.

So I will be very open with you, I will give you the ingredients I used to have this result here, good after feel free to add your favorite vegetables or to remove certain vegetables that I put. In the recipe I used the chicken, but if you prefer the meat. Add the meat! It depends on your preferences too, it is you who eat ! lol

Tips to succeed in his Fried Rice

•  Cook your rice the day before or even 2 hours before starting cooking . The rice should be completely cooled when you want to start mixing with the vegetables.
• Do not boil your rice too much before you fry it , otherwise you will get a sticky Fried Rice. I cook the rice for only 10 minutes
• The Fried Rice is better when the vegetables remain crunchy , so do not overcome your vegetables.

• To obtain the crisp appearance, you will have to increase heat to a high level during the frying process and stir continuously while you let the rice heat. It's better to use a “wok” if you have them. If not it does not matter either!

• You can also boil your rice with the chicken juice . If you have it at your disposal. Me in this recipe I did not yet have the chicken broth. I cooked the rice the day before, and the chicken the next day .. lol.

For this recipe, I made my Fried Rice with the Rice with Curcurma ! 😋

Thank you for reading until the end and leave me a comment when you try the recipe!
