BBQ Chicken with Figs

All Recipes / Barbecue / Chicken / Dinner

Another of my Tanzanian recipes, authentically shared with me by the lovely locals during a ‘food and travel’ experience several years ago.

Traditionally called Kuku Choma and always served with the wonderfully flavoured, slightly spicy Kachumbari (African Salsa), however, I like it with fresh or slightly roasted fresh figs and of course the salsa : Kachumbari African Salsa
