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.
