Chicken Suya

Step 1

Soak the skewers for at least 20 minutes totally submerged in water before using it to prevent burns.

Step 2

Heat the oven to 450°F. Lightly spray or oil baking sheet or roasting pan to prevent the suya from sticking to the pan

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix garlic powder, onion power, smoked paprika, white pepper, cayenne pepper, peanut butter and bouillon/maggi.

Step 4

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. You want to have a completely dry chicken before cooking. Slice the chicken into a diagonal medium thin shape or bite size.

Step 5

Thread the chicken onto the skewers about 4 per skewer. Making sure the skewer is fully covered with slices of chicken

Step 6

Brush the chicken skewer with spice mixture; on both sides. Place skewers on the roasting pan or baking sheet.

Step 7

Drizzle with oil and bake on for about 20 minutes- rotating sides half way through baking until chicken is fully cooked through. Towards the last 3 minutes of baking. Switch from baking to broiler setting. To get a nice crisp brown on the outside.

Step 8

Serve warm and pair these chicken suya with African Pepper Sauce featured here  and with onions .
