What it is
A rustic and deeply flavorful stew prepared with tougher, free-range (kienyeji) chicken, slow-cooked in a rich sauce of onions, tomatoes, and traditional Kenyan spices until the meat is incredibly tender.
Key ingredients
Free-range chicken pieces (often with skin/bones), cooking oil, onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, salt, black pepper, spices (curry powder, turmeric).
If you order it anyway
Request minimal tomatoes and onions. Confirm no potatoes, carrots, or flour/cornstarch used as a thickener. Ask for extra cooking oil if desired for more fat.
Watch out for
Excessive tomatoes and onions, added potatoes/carrots, flour/cornstarch as a thickener, hidden sugars in spice mixes or bouillon.
