Chicken Mayo

Chicken mayo is a popular dish in Congo, especially in Kinshasa. This recipe involves baking chicken with spices, then roasting it a second time with mayonnaise and vegetables such as onions and bell peppers. It is often served with fried plantains, chikwanga (cassava bread), or fries. This Congolese specialty is enjoyed in the streets and bars of Kinshasa, where each family has its own version of the recipe. Chicken mayo has become a staple of Congolese street food, alongside other dishes like beef skewers (kamundele) and Congolese dibi.
