Ingredients

scaled from 4 servings
  • 4 pieces bone-in chicken drumsticks
  • 2 large red onion
  • 1 1/2 tbsp berbere spice blend
  • 2 tbsp niter kibbeh spiced butter
  • 3 garlic cloves

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Marinate chicken in lemon juice and salt for 15 minutes while you finely mince the onions.
  2. Dry-cook the onions in a heavy pot over medium, stirring, 12 minutes until collapsed and jammy with no added fat.
  3. Add the niter kibbeh, grated garlic and ginger, and cook 3 minutes, then stir in berbere and bloom 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in 1.5 cups water to form a thick red sauce and simmer 5 minutes.
  5. Add the chicken, cover, and simmer on low 30 minutes, turning the pieces halfway.
  6. Score the hard-boiled eggs and nestle them in for the last 8 minutes to absorb the sauce. Serve with injera.
