How to Prepare Suya Spiced Chicken Nuggets

5:02 AM Thejossy kitchen 0 Comments



This started as a craving for some McDonalds chicken nuggets. I would have just bought some but the God of self-control is alive and well. 

I can’t indulge too much in deep fried stuff (except Buns and Scotched egg because they are life and I would always fall for them).

I wanted some heat in this chicken but I also wanted my Relatives to be able to enjoy it. I introduced most of the heat into the breading instead of the chicken itself. I used my signature * in order to keep the chicken pieces moist and busting with flavors.

This is one recipe you want to try, it will be enjoyed by adults and kids alike.
