CHUNKY VEGGIE & CHICKEN STIR FRY

Chunky vegetables are great because they are crunchy and crisp on the edges especially when stir frying. This chicken dish is so simple to make you will be making it on the regular! I had pre marinated the chicken so that it can even add more flavour and taste. I think I am officially a chicken addict. I have so many chicken recipes and still have more to try out! Hope you enjoy this dish and do not forget to comment about your favourite chicken dish below.

KUKU KIENYEJI STEW

Kuku kienyeji/Kienyeji chicken is free range or organic chicken that is usually more delicious than broilers or layers. It has always been a tradition that whenever we go upcountry to visit our grandma she always packs for us a chicken or two. Either a live chicken or one that has been dried on an open fire. That is why I always look foward to going for those visits because of getting that kuku kienyeji. Back in town, there are vendors who sell organic chicken, which normally is more expensive than broilers or layers. Kuku kienyeji has a much darker flesh that gets an intense flavour after cooking. With this kienyeji chicken, you do not need to add too many ingredients or even spices because its totally delicious with basic add ins.

GARLIC GINGER WHOLE FRIED CHICKEN

Last day of March and what better way to end it than with guess what, chicken! It feels like March has been chicken month, that should be a thing honestly. I enjoyed cooking chicken wings for the first time which was fun. As we say goodbye to the month of March, I have something that I can say I have achieved. Nairobi Kitchen's Youtube channel went live! 🤗🤗🤗 (does happy dance)... It is something that I have always wanted to do which I kept postponing because of not having this and that... which I still don't have anyway, but I decided it is never going to be perfect. Waiting for things to align will be a regret I do not want to have. So I went for it, so today I have 048 subscribers and who knows next time I'll be writting about 480K subscribers 😍! The reception I have received has been awesome and I'm very grateful for that. Still doing the shooting and editing on my own, and I'm still learning so it really is fun. I cannot believe it is the end of March already, we are heading to almost half the year! All I can say is that I love sharing my recipes with you and look foward to more deliciousness! Happy New Month tomorrow!

BALSAMIC GARLIC PEPPER CHICKEN

I always see pre-marinated chicken in the freezer section of supermarkets and I have always wanted to give it a try. I usually marinate my own chicken but I wanted something new so this was going to be my plan. I forgot to ask what the marinade ingredients were but the pack was labeled Chicken Boston Barbecue. Well, well, well, this chicken was gonna take me to Boston! Hehe! Anyway, I decided not to add too many condiments since the chicken was already marinated. I was pleasantly surprised when I started searing the chicken the aroma that filled the chicken was just wow! I wanted to add some color with some red onions and green bell peppers. They added a touch of freshness and crisp. I shallow fried the chicken to make sure that I did not loose the flavours in the marinade, that I forgot to ask 🤣, bottom line is, I looooooved the chicken!
