Spicy tasty chicken

Good morning lovelies, by popular demand I was asked to give recipe of grilled chicken, couldn't come up with a catchy picture of how the end product should be, so I got this online( picture above not mine) :) but it sure saved me great stress.
Everyone has their own method of cooking, baking, grilling and all. But today I would like to share with you my own method of making this spicy tasty chicken( grill chicken). Please note you can use turkey or gizzard any that appeals to you

INGREDIENTS
A kilo of chiken laps
Coconut milk
Spices (garlic, ginger, curry, thyme)
Seasoning cubes
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil or olive oil
Suya pepper

METHOD

Wash you chicken laps properly ensuring that no dirt can be found
Place them in a large bowl enough to contain
In a seperate bowl pour your coconut milk (quantity depends on how many chicken laps you want to grill, for example 1cup of coconut milk would go for a kilo of chicken laps)
Pour your spices in moderate proportions, add your seasoning cubes and salt to taste
Using a fork, poke some holes in the chicken, so as to allow the spice sink in during marinating
You marinate for 6hours

Grilling
Set your barbeque grill to how hot you want it, if you are using automatic, for those using Gas cooker grill let the flames be moderately hot not too hot else you have burnt chicken, for me I use the locally made grill outdoor grill :)
Now neatly place the chicken on the grill and allow to cook , regularly turning them on intervals,when it begins to show sign of dryness sprinkle your olive oil or vegetable oil on it, this makes it moist and juicy.
Once properly cooked, use a spatula to lift and place on a clean plate
Place the Suya mixture in a paper foil, I do spice my mixture with pepper irrespective of the fact that it has its own taste, now pick the already cooked chicken one by one roll them in the Suya mixture then place back on the grill to allow it sink in, always make sure you keep the chicken moist by oiling once this is achieved, you Have the spicy tasty chicken ready, serve neatly in plates or disposable foils plates
Please coconut milk is optional, you can use chicken brooth if you aren't a fan of coconut and also for those allergic to peanut please don't use Suya mixture, try fried tomatoes mixture it works perfectly, happy grilling www.facebook.com/kamchessenterprise
I usually take mine with kamchess africana drink, yes it's highly nutritious and sold In the office

Rice and Pepper stew

Hello lovelies, it's been a while. Yes I've been trying out recipes, well of course this is one of my favorite food, I love it, maybe because of the spicy fish, meat and the rest additives I include but either ways, it gets everyone, sniffing in and drinking water dues to its hotness and yet they can't stop asking for more lol!
So I would be sharing with you my own recipe on ho to make this sumptous stew.
Ingredients for Rice
Rice 1derica 
Water
Salt
Onions

Method

Wash the rice and place in a pot of water on your cooking gas
Let it simmer for 10mins
Bring it down and rewash with cold water till you can get most of the starch out
Put it back into the pot of water (just enough quantity to cook the rice), then place it on the burner to cook
Once the water is almost drained, cut a bulb of purple onion or any other onion you have( not spring onion)
Cover and allow it to cook for 2mins, by which the water in the rice is completely drained, bring down the pot from the burner and serve

Pepper stew

Tomatoes
Pepper (ata orodo)
Onion
Ginger, Curry,Garlic spices
Seasoning cubes
Fish
Meat
Iru(locust beans)
Palm oil
Salt
Egg

Method
Now for this aspect, I included meat and egg I didn't use it in the picture above because I was in a hurry, so for those that who are not, I advice you include them to get another tongue biting taste
For starters, I don't know the english name for the fish I'm about to mention Panla is what the Yorubas in nigeria call it. It's not mandatory to stick to this type of fish though I used it, you can also use mackerel, tuna any other fish that agrees with spice
I got my smoked Panla, washed them and seasoned them with the spices, I used 3 because of the quantity I was making, you can use more depending on quatity
Then get your already cooked and seasoned and fried meat, dice neatly and place in a plate, set this also aside
Peel your hard boiled eggs, wash with clean water and set this equally aside
Wash your tomatoes and peppers and onions, blend with a food processor, I used the regular hand blender is gives it this native taste.
Wash your locust beans otherwise known as Iru in yoruba, it's health benefits is enormous, set this also aside
Now wash your pot for stew and place it on the burner, turn the flame on, pour in your blended,tomatoes, peppers, onion and allow the water to drain
Once drained, pour your palmoil into the steaming mixture and stir 
Put in your spices, seasoning cubes and salt to taste 
Keep stiring till the stew begins to show sign on being fried
Pour your fish, meat, egg and keep stiring so the stew sinks into them 
Once that is achieved and your stew shows signs of properly fried sauce, add little water,cover and allow to simmer for 5mins
Then bring it down and serve with your rice

I love my food hot, I'm not a fan of cold food, well I ate mine with salad and cold kamchess Zobo, enjoy and don't forget to share your own food, stay blessed
