Ingredients
  • 2 lbs chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks preferred)
  • 2 large onions, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp berbere spice mix
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
  1. 1In a large bowl, marinate the chicken pieces with lemon juice and salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. 2Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until golden brown, stirring frequently (about 15-20 minutes).
  3. 3Once the onions are browned, add minced garlic and ginger. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. 4Add the berbere spice mix to the pot, stirring well to incorporate it into the onion mixture. Cook for about 2 minutes to bloom the spices.
  5. 5Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot, a few at a time if necessary. Stir to coat the chicken with the spice and onion mixture.
  6. 6Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  7. 7If using, add the hard-boiled eggs during the last 10 minutes of cooking, allowing them to absorb some of the flavors.
  8. 8Check seasoning and adjust salt if needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
