Poulet Braisé

Ivorian Grilled Chicken


Poulet Braisé


This is a grilled recipe.

The Ivory coast is famous for its grilled meats, which are often grilled and sold on city streets, and this very simple marinade may be the reason. Unfortunately, I burned the chicken (I didn't cook it over indirect heat, and caused a grease fire which completely charred the skin - fortunately it was easy enough to set aside), so I can't quite tell how good the BBQ would have been. I may make it again, or use the sauce over beef, to really try it.

As I was researching this recipe, I found out that Maggi seasoning cubes and sauces, are actually different in different countries. This recipe is probably best if you get African Maggi cubes - but we're in a pandemic, so I made do with what I had at home, which was Chinese Maggi sauce.
