How To Make spicy ethiopian chicken

  • Step 1
    Season meat with ghee or oil, then sprinkle with salt.
  • Step 2
    Combine spices together in a bowl. Mix half of the spice mixture with chicken in a large bowl. Once thoroughly coated, arrange the chicken in a casserole dish lined with foil (enough to make a package).
  • Step 3
    Sprinkle more of the spice over the chicken to your liking. The more spice - the spicier the chicken. Fold foil over the chicken to seal it up.
  • Step 4
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Chicken will cook for an hour and a half, then open up the foil packet and continue cooking uncovered approximately 30-45 minutes longer.
  • Step 5
    Arrange the chicken on a tray and spoon sauce over it. Serve with injera or rice. Use the lemon or lime wedges to squeeze over the chicken just before you serve it.
