How to make the pepper chicken | Peppered Chicken?
What I like about this recipe is that it is a good alternative to the traditional basic fried chicken that we used to do during Christmas. Here the chicken would not only be fried, but in addition it would be coated with a small red sauce , spicy and quite heavy . I mean that we are very far from the traditional African tomato sauce that you surely know. 😅
In addition to that, you can use this recipe for turkey, beef, fried fish and gizzard . This is the same principle, except that you do not use the chicken! The recipe is really very versatile and it is really delicious!.
Ingredient
- Red peppers to crush
- But also the red and yellow green peppers to cut and also give beautiful to our dish!
- Onions
- Pepper
- Aromatic herbs like Oregano, Thym, Basil
- Spices : curry, garlic, pepper, ginger
- Tomatoes : I know that it is a question of chicken with red pepper, maize spoiler alert there are also tomatoes in this dish 😀. The tomatoes are optional but there is nothing wrong with what they bring an additional nutrition.
- And of course the chicken : the star of this dish! Here I used the chicken that does not last long in the fire, but you can also use the soup chicken if you wish. It would also go very well in this recipe
RECIPE
The recipe is super easy to make
- Step 1: Prepare his chicken
This step is just to season the chicken, let marinate, boil and grill in the oven, or fry in an oil bath.

Here we crush the tomatoes, onions and the red pepper together . And then we will cook everything until the water has dried
- Step 3: Mix everything
In a small saucepan, we will fry the onions, and again the peppers, but this time we use the green, yellow and red peppers to color the dish. We are going to add our precuited tomato sauce, then the chicken and finally season with the spices. We will simmer for a few moments by adding very little cooking juices to our chicken!
And now, fast, easy and so delicious . It was just a small summary of the recipe to give you a little overview of all this, but Sino n the recipe with more details is still at the bottom of the article!
