Kedjenou (Chicken Stew)

Cote D’ Ivoire Kedjenou is a wonderful chicken stew that is cooked in a special vessel called a canari or canary. This cylindrical vessel does not allow any steam to escape keeping in all the juices of whatever is in the pot. This technique of cooking results in a scrumptious tender piece or chicken. The vessel is shaken or turned over the coals for a good period of time to achieve this result. You can get close with a tight-fitting lid and some tin foil on a dutch oven or stock pot. The chicken stew went perfectly with the side dish called attieke and the cucumber and courgette salad. Enjoy!
