How to cook Grilled Chicken
Kuku choma is celebration and street food across Tanzania — whole or cut chicken grilled over charcoal with lime-chili marinade. Served with chips, rice or ugali at roadside spots and home Sunday meals.
- Cut chicken into grill pieces or spatchcock; wash and pat dry.
- Make marinade: blend ginger, garlic, chili, lime, oil and salt.
- Coat chicken inside and out; marinate 2 hours or overnight refrigerated.
- Heat charcoal until white coals give medium heat.
- Place chicken skin-side down on grill first.
- Cover grill if possible 15 minutes to cook through gently.
- Turn pieces every 8–10 minutes, basting with reserved marinade.
- Check doneness — juices by bone should run clear.
- Rest chicken 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve with chips, kachumbari and extra lime.
Tips
- Free-range chicken tastes better but needs longer cooking.
- Avoid high heat — skin burns before meat cooks through.
- Lime marinade tenderizes and removes any strong smell.
