Method

  1. 1

    Prepare chicken and eggs: Use cleaned chicken leg/thigh pieces and hard-boiled eggs.

  2. 2

    Build mild onion base: Cook onions thoroughly, then add ginger, garlic, turmeric and niter kibbeh.

  3. 3

    Simmer chicken: Cook chicken gently in the golden sauce until tender and safely cooked.

  4. 4

    Add eggs and finish: Add hard-boiled eggs near the end and warm them in the sauce.

Cook's notes

  • Keep the pieces consistent so the chicken cooks evenly.
  • The absence of heavy berbere makes onion and aromatic quality even more noticeable.
  • Verify poultry reaches 165°F.
