Chakalaka Chicken & Vegetables
Preheat your oven for a delicious taste of South Africa’s rich culinary history with the Chakalaka Chicken & Vegetables. Chakalaka is a versatile South African condiment that reflects the country’s culinary history. Although it originated in South Africa’s largest city, Johannesburg, chakalaka’s flavors and ingredients were highly influenced by Portuguese colonial rule as South African locals began to incorporate Portuguese culinary traditions into their own.
