Why cooks start here

Spicy Chicken Tibs belongs to the everyday cooking of Addis Ababa, where its aroma calls everyone to the table. This home version keeps the flavors direct and generous, the way a family cook serves it.

Spicy Chicken Tibs is a staple of everyday life in Addis Ababa, where the enticing aroma of sizzling spices and tender chicken often signals the gathering of family around the table. This dish reflects the heart of home cooking, where flavors are both straightforward and abundant, capturing the essence of Ethiopian culinary warmth. Expect bold and vibrant notes in each bite, with the earthiness of berbere and the aromatic lift of fresh ginger and rosemary. The chicken is succulent, enveloped in a fragrant niter kibbeh that leaves a lingering warmth. Serve it with injera to soak up every last bit of the rich, spicy sauce.
