Before you cook chicken

Chicken meat in Luganda is translated as Enkoko/Nkoko and translated as Kuku in Kiswahili.

Before cooking your Chicken (Nkoko) in Uganda, you should first kill and dress your bird well. This means you remove the feathers, the offal’s and all other parts which are not eaten by most groups of peoples in Uganda. For example, the head, feet and the intestines are not eaten by most tribes in Uganda. However, there some people in the country that eat the chicken feet by removing the top skin/scales and the nails.

You can cook your chicken whole or you can first cut it into pieces (Culving it). Culving chicken is done accordingly depending on the number of pieces of chicken you need per bird; i.e; 12,10,8,6,4,0r 2 pieces.

When cooking in Uganda, Chicken can be used whole or when cut flat or used whole and stuffed.

Wash the chicken before you culve it into pieces. After that, you can then start seasoning or marinating it before you can pre-roast (okukalilira) it.



How to pre –roast chicken (Okukalirira enkoko)

As you will see later on this cooking guide; most traditional chicken recipes in Uganda will require that you pre-roast your chicken before your cook it any further.

Light the charcoal stove or ordinarily fire until you get red charcoal

Cover your charcoal with a few banana peelings

Place a wire rack and on top place the charcoal pieces or whole charcoal stove and then cover the chicken with a banana leaf.

We advise that you roast your chicken when cut in 6-8 pieces after which you can cut it in smaller pieces

Keep turning your chicken until it has gained the colour you want.

You can also use firewood to roast but it must first burn until it produces charcoal (Amanda nga gagudde) before you put your chicken. Then cover with banana peelings as for the charcoal stove.

You can use a wire rack or skewer to roast the big chicken pieces or the whole chicken/bird.
