Procedure To Be Taken Before Preparing The Chicken Periperi (Suya).

1. Set aside your suya pepper, but if you don't have, make some and set aside.

2. Cut and slice the chicken breast. If you can't do the slicing, mostly some chicken sellers at the meat market usually do the slicing.

Notes; If the chicken seller can't help you, or you use a life chicken which you kill yourself. Make sure your knife is probably sharpened, and try it yourself with this simple steps.

"Remove the chicken bones, then cut the chicken in a straight format, place your palm on it then start doing the slicing. Make your slice to be very flat".

You can also cut your chicken into smaller pieces and slice into two to three parts, if you don't get the normal suya slicing.

3. After slicing all the chicken, Skewered the fillets of chicken, sticking the beef or chicken or any other meat you are using is optional so you can actually skip this step, but the best way to get a good looking meat or chicken periperi (suya) is to have them arrange on a Skewer.

4. Spread some of the suya spice in a wide tray or dish and dab the stick chicken in the suya spice.

Notes; Make sure you have all the parts of the chicken covered probably with the suya spice.

5. Now place all your sticks chicken in a small bowl or flat plate and cover with aluminium foil.

6. Then put it in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour or more than. It's advisable to even keep it overnight, it depends on the time you wanna have it.

7. After marinate, then your chicken is ready to grill, set your oven to 150°C (300F).

8. Pour some vegetable oil in a bowl, add small quantity of salt and stir. After that, use the cooking brush to
rub the vegetable oil on the marinated chicken.

Notes; Make sure that you rub the vegetable oil all over the chicken, if possible, you can soak in the vegetable oil and bring it out to drain out the oil before grilling.

9. Now bring out your chicken and place them on the oven rack or tray, then make sure that the chicken lies flat on the rack or tray.

10. Grill in the preheated oven for like 20 minutes, making sure that both sides of the chicken periperi (suya) are grilled probably. To achieve this, you have to first grill the top side for about 10 minutes, turn them upside down and grill the bottom side for 10 minutes, makes 20 minutes all together. If you are not OK with grill you can keep turning them around till you are OK with it.

11. When you are almost done, you can still rub more vegetable oil on the fillets of chicken periperi (suya), so as to have you chicken periperi (suya) moist rather than dry. But if you love it dry, you can skip it.

Now you are done with the preparation of the CHICKEN PERIPERI (SUYA).
