Peppered chicken is one way I like to prepare chicken if you don’t like chicken try this recipe and you would have a change of mind. It’s tasty and juicy if you like heat/spice you can make it spicy and you don’t like spice you can definitely replicate the recipe reducing the heat/spice just make sure you remove the seeds because that’s where the heat lives.
For this peppered chicken recipe, I used chicken quarters but you can use any part of the chicken you like. You can serve this chicken with rice, yam, potatoes, couscous and so much more.
