Chicken thighs coated in suya spice — ground peanuts, ginger, cayenne, and aromatics — skewered and grilled until charred and nutty-fragrant. West African street food in taco form. Use your tortilla as a glove to slide the chicken right off the skewer — it captures the spice crust that would otherwise fall off.←Back to Taco Base Recipes
