When we traveled to Ethiopia to adopt our boys, my mouth was introduced to some amazing new and exotic flavors! If you’ve ever been to Ethiopia, you know the word berbere . It is the main spice mix that Ethiopians use in their cooking. It is quite spicy, so you can add more or less to your liking. But if you don’t want to make a batch yourself, you can find berbere in specialty spice stores as well as online.
Chicken thighs are more ketogenic and tastier than bland, skinless chicken breasts, and the skin helps make this dish more ketogenic by increasing the fat ratio. But I have to admit, I’m not a fan of soggy, chewy skin. In this recipe, I use the skin to make cracklings to add another layer of texture and flavor to this amazing stew.
