West African-Style Bongo Chicken is very dear to my heart because I created it myself.

I got the name from an African drum set called Bongo drums or Congas.

Back when I was in college at Philadelphia, I would make Bongo Chicken and my friends loved it!

I used to think to myself I need to give this recipe a name. So since I loved the congas I figured I’ll come up with my own name. So that’s the story behind this great recipe.

Serve the freshly West African-Style Bongo Chicken recipe with a bowl of rice, potatoes, pasta, or your favorite side dish.

The ingredients can be found at your local supermarket or by using this Amazon link.

Amazon has been a blessing during this self-isolation period because you can purchase almost anything from there.

    This dish has tons of flavor and a name we love to say! Bongos are one of our favorite instruments and this chicken lived up to how exciting the music bongos make is.

    I’ve made this recipe but used regular chilies and it was divine. Even my kids absolutely loved it despite being a little bit spicy for them. Will be making this again, no doubt, thanks so much for sharing!

    I love all these seasonings, especially the garlic and ginger. It looks so flavorful and, with the blender, pretty easy to make. I can’t wait!
