Hi,nice work girl…on d coconut chicken
I realised that using the fresh coconut to make the milk has more flavour than the store bought ones in tin.
Definitely
What is Red Chili n d coconut milk is it sold in the market too?
Red chili is available everywhere. you can buy pre-made coconut milk or make your own from fresh coconut by blending and squeezing out milk from fresh coconut.
What is rosemary? N can one use thyme instead?
Rosemary is an herb just like Thyme, you can substitute thyme.
at what Point is the milk added?
The milk is added in with everything else in part A to make the sauce
Abeg where I go see coconut oil buy? :-)
Where do you live? Dem get am everywhere sha, even for local market.
HI I’M NEW TO THIS BLOG AND FROM WHAT I’VE SEEN YOUR FOOOS LOOK DELICIOUS BUT MY MAJOR CONCERN IS SOME OF THE INGREDIENTS THAT CANT BE FOUND IN NIGERIA, DO U HAVE ANY SUBSTITUTE INGREDIENTS FOR THEM. THANKS
Hi Tina welcome, do you have a particular ingredient in mind? most of the things we use are available on the Nigerian market (sometime under a different name)
m very happy to see your article. Thanks so much and i am taking a look forward to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a mail?
Okay oh – my report is long overdue. Anyway, Friday and Saturday ended up being really busy so I didn’t make this until Sunday although my chicken had been marinating all that time. It was very delicious – my pics look nothing like yours and I think I know why but sha, I enjoyed it – easy to make and a great addition to my menu plan…I served it with potatoes because when I started looking at the peppers in oil, I really wanted to eat it with some yam sha… I added plenty of pepper to the sauce cos we eat pepper in my house…
Here are some lessons learned:
1. Need to use ground Rosemary/Thyme cos ds wasn’t feeling all the herbs he had to chew through so he didn’t eat much of it
2, Don’t think my dry spices mixed as well as I thought since a few came out being really salty – it was really just a few
My only complain was that I had expected to taste the Coconut flavor some more but didn’t – was there something I should have done?
Also, for larger batches, do you just multiply? or is there another method to increasing?
Wish I could post some of the pics here… love the recipe – please keep them coming!
Waoooooo…. excellent review. okay…. did you use organic coconut oil? I never use the generic thing because it is mixed with other oil.
yeah… just multiply through for large batches, rosemary needs some getting used to, even the fresh one is a bit tough. I am happy you liked the recipe :). post some pictures on http://www.9jamum.com
@Ms myne: thank you so much, that means a lot to me
@Trip; Thanks for the kind words
@Ginger: AWWWWWWW… you are awesome!! thanks dear
@Christine: Thanks a million :)
My pleasure … I also can’t resist asking … how did you get your dodo to shape up like that. Did you use a biscuit cutter? I tried pressing raw plantain before frying, but I only ended up with crushed plantain.lol. Abeg tips xxx :-).
LOL@Crushed plantain, try using semi ripe plantain instead of ripe.
Love your blog, in fact arrived by checking yahoo and google for a comparable issue to this post. Which means this might be a late post nevertheless keep up the great work.

If olive oil can be substituted for the coconut oil how is it still coconut chicken? Just thought I should point this out. Keep up with the inspiring dishes.
Valid point John, but due to health reservations with Coconut oil I thought a substitute would be appropriate. Thanks for the comment :D.
Hi John, its still coconut chicken because the sauce has coconut milk in it, so even if you substitute coconut oil for olive oil, its still coconut chicken
well said
Chicken and coconut? who knew? I’m going to have to try it, looks delish!
