Are you making the peppered chicken for a party, family hang-out, office bonding session, or birthday party? Peppered chicken is that delicious delicacy loved by you, me, and many others in Nigeria and overseas. In Nigeria, you will mostly find such at parties.

The great thing is you don’t even have to do extra, going out and buying so much. You could literally pick up foundational ingredients that you already have in your kitchen and fire on.

Peppered chicken is a great meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can have this recipe with rice, yam, and plantain. However, a lot of people believe NIgerian peppered chicken is spicy, but you can try it out with minimum scotch bonnet pepper to make it less spicy. Aside from peppered chicken, you can try other side dishes, like Nigerian fish stew, Yam and fish pepper soup, and Nkwobi.
