Nairobi Kitchen

I LOVE, love chicken, and I can have it any type of way, whether stewed, grilled, baked, stuffed, or fried. Chicken is just the easiest and most delicious meal you can whip up with very minimal effort. Today, I offer you baked MSHIKAKI, a twist on the traditional East African street food favorite. Mshikaki are marinated meat skewers, and you can use any meat you prefer: beef, chicken, pork, lamb, or even goat. They are usually spiced with a mix of chili, ginger, masala, or other local East African spices, and marinated with oil, salt, pepper and lemon. Whether using a dry rub or a liquid marinade, mshikaki is all about deep, bold flavor.
