So, Ata dindin makes a feature in this post again. Have I said how in love I am with that sauce?

Anyway I had some chicken and I had another recipe in mind, but seeing that I had some Ata dindin, I decided to make this instead. The succulent meat, mixed with the sweet and spicy sauce was divine. It was more than I could ask for on that day.

The funny thing is this, I never liked pepper, but it is a great part of the Nigerian diet. I have had to teach myself to eat it. Even my father who never really could tolerate peppers; had to have it in his soups. I mean, the man(GOD rest his soul) could curse you out if he did not taste pepper in his meals.

This is one recipe to try. If you have a stuffy nose, this sauce a lone would open up your sinuses 🙂 The recipe just works. I promise. You may use any other tomato or pepper based sauce you have handy.

Here is a print out version for you
