Pepe chicken recipe by Maria Bradford

A celebratory dish that is best enjoyed at parties

This aromatic pepe chicken recipe is perfect pre- or post-club, according to Bradford

There are 54 beautiful countries in Africa and one thing they all have in common is African culture, says Maria Bradford. We are party people, with a love of celebrations that combine food, fashion, music and dance.

In my view, no party is complete without pepe chicken. Street vendors in Freetown grill this over hot charcoal throughout the night and it is perfect pre- or post-club. Grains of paradise and cubeb pepper are available from specialist stores, or online, as are West African pepper blends. Serves six to eight.
