Food history and culture
Why grilled chicken belongs beside jollof
A shared cooking tradition
Cooking meat over direct heat is found across many cultures. In West Africa, grilling is closely tied to open-air cooking, street food and food prepared for a crowd.
The Nigerian table
In Nigeria, grilled and well-seasoned chicken is a familiar partner for rice dishes. Its savoury flavour balances the tomato, pepper and spice in Nigerian jollof rice.
How we serve it
Our grilled chicken is sold separately so you can choose the amount that suits your tray, gathering or family meal in Charlottetown.
